Purple Fountain Grass
Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum'
Purple Fountain Grass is a striking ornamental grass with arching burgundy-purple foliage and soft, feathery flower plumes in shades of purple and tan. Its upright, flowing habit adds height, movement, and texture to fall planters and garden beds.
Purple Fountain Grass grows best in full sun with well-drained soil. It tolerates heat and drier conditions well but is not frost-hardy and is grown as an annual in our climate.
Seasonal Availability: Typically May through October

Care
Full sun outdoors (6-8+ hours of direct sun) and Part shade outdoors (4 hours of direct sun)
Keep soil moist, but not soggy.
If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
