Pennisetum Rubrum

Description

Pennisetum, commonly known as Fountain Grass, is an ornamental grass prized for its graceful, arching foliage and soft, feathery flower spikes that resemble fountains of motion. Blooming from late summer into fall, the fluffy plumes come in shades of cream, purple, or pink depending on the variety, adding movement and texture to gardens. Growing between 2 to 5 feet tall, Pennisetum fits well in borders, containers, and mass plantings. It prefers full sun, tolerates heat and drought, and adds elegance and natural rhythm to both formal and informal landscapes.
