Pennisetum advena ‘Rubrum’ (Purple Fountain Grass)

Price range: £6.75 through £45.00

Pennisetum ‘Rubrum’ is a charming Dwarf Purple Fountain Grass characterized by its glossy green foliage that transforms into stunning shades of yellow, amber, and bronze in late autumn. While not the hardiest of grasses, it can thrive with the aid of a protective mulch, cloche, or fleece jacket during colder periods. Ideally grown in a container, ‘Rubrum’ can be moved to a frost-free location for winter, ensuring its continued vitality and preserving its ornamental appeal. This grass variety adds a touch of elegance and seasonal beauty to gardens and landscapes.
