Description How to Grow More Info Delivery Reviews
Dark, burgundy foliage arches to form a neat clump, making an attractive feature in summer borders. From July, a profusion of long, fluffy, purple-red flower spikes rise above the glossy foliage. Pennisetum x advena 'Rubrum' is a fast growing variety that makes a spectacular display, contrasting beautifully with other grasses and perennials.

Grow fountain grass in any moist well drained soil. Choose a position in full sun.
Feed and water regularly until fully established. In autumn, move to a frost free position such as a heated greenhouse to protect the plant from cold, wet winter conditions. In spring, remove dead foliage and divide clumps every third year to maintain their vigour.
