Pennisetum orientale ‘Karley Rose’ has great dusty rose flowers for most of the summer that shimmer in the bright light of the season as they lighten to silver. The foliage is darker green, taller and more erect than other fountain grasses. While a single plant is always beautiful a grouping or mass planting of multiple plants can be stunning as it enhances the perception of pink in the flower plumes. Drought tolerant. Deer resistant.
