Growing approximately 3-4 feet tall, with airy flower panicles extending above the foliage, it forms a dense, upright clump of narrow green leaves that begin developing burgundy-red tips during the growing season. As summer progresses, the red coloration intensifies, eventually creating an impressive mixture of green, burgundy, and deep red foliage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn late summer, airy reddish-pink flower panicles emerge above the foliage, adding soft texture and movement to the plant. By fall, the foliage develops even richer burgundy and wine-red tones.
