Ruby Grass, Rose Natal Grass, Natal Redtop

I have had Ruby Grass Pink Crystals for several years and it doesn't seem to reseed here. I love this grass & here in our awful clay it i...Read Mores not at all invasive. I have a hard time finding it locally.

Note that Melinis repens (formerly known as Rhynchelytrum repens) is an invasive weed of dry sandy soils in central Florida...Read More, occurring in both disturbed and natural areas. Here it is called "Natal Grass", after its region of origin. It is a weed in my sandy soil garden in Sebring, Florida, as well as competing with rare plants in nearby areas of longleaf pine sandhills and Florida scrub.

Variety of ruby grass sold in Southern California. Grass is soft and flowers softer. Have not yet had luck with reseeding.
