Pennisetum setaceum ‘Rubrum’
Treat yourself every year to this spectacular annual grass. You’re worth it! Purple fountain grass forms clumps of bold arching burgundy foliage. From mid-summer to early autumn it bears masses of pink to purplish pink furry plumes that arch above the foliage. Use in mixed perennial beds, mass plantings, as well as in mixed containers. It looks good with almost everything.
