Red Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum') is a stunning ornamental grass featuring deep burgundy foliage and arching, bottlebrush-like plumes. It grows 3 to 5 feet tall, requires full sun, and is drought-tolerant once established. It thrives outdoors in USDA Zones 9-11 and can be used as an annual elsewhere.
Quick Care Tips
- Planting: Space plants 3 feet apart for mass plantings or use as a thriller in patio containers.
- Water: Water regularly during the first season; once established, deep, occasional watering is perfect.
- Pruning: In cold climates, remove spent foliage at the end of the season. In frost-free zones (like Southern California), cut the foliage back to about 4–6 inches in late winter to encourage fresh spring growth.
