Uncinia rubra ‘Everflame’ – Colourful Evergreen Grass with Fiery Foliage
Uncinia rubra ‘Everflame’ is a vibrant evergreen ornamental grass, prized for its flowing bronze-red foliage and year-round colour. The slender arching leaves emerge in rich copper and red tones, intensifying through the seasons to create a warm, glowing effect in the garden.
Its graceful, fountain-like habit adds softness and movement to planting schemes, while the vivid foliage provides striking contrast against green shrubs and flowering perennials. Compact and versatile, it works beautifully in borders, containers, gravel gardens, and contemporary planting designs.
Unlike many ornamental grasses that die back in winter, ‘Everflame’ retains its colourful foliage throughout the year, making it particularly valuable for adding structure and interest during colder months.
Thriving in sun or partial shade, it prefers moist but well-drained soil and performs best in sheltered positions protected from severe winter exposure. In milder areas, it remains reliably evergreen and highly ornamental.
Low maintenance and easy to grow, it requires only occasional tidying to remove older foliage and maintain its fresh appearance.
Elegant, colourful, and full of movement, Uncinia ‘Everflame’ is an excellent choice for adding texture and rich foliage colour to the garden year-round.
