Its blue-green leaves start turning wine red in early summer, and by late summer nearly the whole clump is saturated with color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatching wine-red flower sprays top the plant in late summer, bringing it to about 3 feet tall. It is a hardy perennial option for the look of annual purple fountain grass and does well in tough, dry, sunny spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrow leaves about ½ inch wide emerge blue-green and turn deep wine red from the tips down starting in early summer, becoming almost entirely burgundy by late summer. They form a tight, upright, vase-shaped clump about 2 feet tall before bloom and 18 inches wide. In late summer, airy wine-red flower panicles rise just above the foliage, bringing the plant to about 3 feet. At peak the clump is a slim vase of burgundy topped with a matching reddish haze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheyenne Sky loves full sun like lavender, and its wine-red blades make a rich color contrast next to lavender's silvery foliage and purple spikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in almost any soil, from sand to clay; it is drought tolerant once established but also handles wetter spots.
