Grass Rubrum (Fountain Grass)
Color Name: Purple Fountain Grass
Graceful Grasses® Pennisetum Rubrum is an outstanding annual fountain grass with thin reddish-purple foliage. The magnificent, rosy-pink, bottlebrush plumes erupt from the dark tropical foliage from early summer until frost! This versatile grass looks spectacular in nearly any setting-especially in large combination planter! Planting Rubrum in between perennials and shrubs is an excellent way to add some pizzazz to your landscape. Don't worry about having to replant it every year; it is worth it! Rubrum stands about 30" to 36" tall and waves in the wind.
Growing Tips: In almost all areas Vertigo will be an annual grass. Once the grass turns brown it can either be removed immediately or removed in the spring. It should not be expected to live through the winter and begin growing again in the spring.
