Agrostis Exarata Var. Aenea

Red oat grass, scientifically known as Agrostis exarata var. aenea, is a strikingly beautiful plant native to parts of Asia and the Pacific islands. Its distinctive reddish-brown foliage and delicate, grass-like appearance make it a popular choice for ornamental gardening. This variety is often mistaken for other grasses due to its slender growth habit and fine texture. Despite its delicate look, it is remarkably hardy and adaptable to various growing conditions. Red oat grass is also valued for its ecological benefits, providing habitat and food for small insects and birds.
