Purple Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum')

Purple Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum') is one of the most dramatic and eye-catching ornamental grasses available. Its arching, slender leaves emerge in a deep, rich burgundy-purple-red colour that intensifies in full sun, creating a spectacular clump of vivid, cascading colour. In the growing season it produces elegant, feathery, rose-pink flower plumes that sway beautifully in the breeze, adding exquisite movement and texture to any planting scheme. It is outstanding in mixed borders, mass plantings, containers, and as a bold colourful specimen. It provides a stunning colour contrast against green plantings and stone hardscape.
