Pennisetum 'Rubrum' (set.)
Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum', commonly known as purple fountain grass, is a spectacular ornamental grass that commands attention with its rich burgundy-red foliage and arching, silky purple flower spikes. Its elegant, splayed, tufted shape adds texture, movement, and color to landscapes, whether in beds, pots, or borders. This easy-care grass is popular in both contemporary and rustic settings. It is often used to create striking contrasts in borders, particularly in combination with light- or silver-flowering perennials.
