Pennisetum setaceum Rubrum

Rubrum Fountain Grass

A spectacular ornamental grass, prized for its deep purple-red foliage and feathery, purplish-pink flower spikes that emerge in summer. Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant, but regular watering promotes increased vigor and abundant blooms. Highly decorative, it is ideal for beds, borders, or containers, providing a splash of bright color and movement. In late fall or early winter, prune the stems at the base to encourage new growth in spring.
