Melinus nerviglumis
This small tufting grass is a South African native, notable for the contrast between its bright green leaves and its reddish flower clusters, which stay attractive into the fall after the flowering is done.

Melinus nerviglumis
Melinus nerviglumis is a very showy small clump-forming grass with a wide distribution in sub-Saharan Africa. It is about a foot tall (30 cm), and has plumes of reddish-purple flowers in the spring and summer. As with many other grasses, these look terrific when back-lit.

Melinus nerviglumis
Many ornamental grasses have been brought into cultivation from all around the world. Melinus nerviglumis is native to sub-Saharan Africa, and makes foot-high clumps of blue-green narrow leaves, attractive in their own right. The tall plumes of reddish flowers are a wonderful bonus, adding a contrasting color and serving to catch the light. Its common name is “Ruby Grass”.
