Pennisetum alopecuroides (Purple/Red Fountain Grass)

Purple/Red Fountain Grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides) is a stunning ornamental grass that offers a burst of color to any garden. The long, slender leaves emerge in shades of deep purple or red, creating a striking contrast against the green foliage. In late summer, the grass produces feathery, bottlebrush-like plumes that arch gracefully above the foliage. This hardy perennial grass is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it a popular choice for low-maintenance landscapes.
