Use this plant in containers, in sunny borders, meadows, rock gardens, and foundation plantings. ‘Red Head’ looks great in late-season containers. The bushy plumes are great as cut flowers if they are cut soon after they emerge. In late fall or early spring cut the foliage back almost to the ground before growth starts in spring. This plant has no serious insect or disease problems and is not usually appealing to deer.
