About

Pennisetum rubrum

:

Spectacular foliage & blooms: Deep burgundy-purple leaves topped with arching, bottlebrush-like plumes in shades of red, purple, and bronze, from midsummer through fall.

Stunning form: Fast-growing, mound-forming habit, typically reaching 90–150 cm tall and 60–120 cm wide when mature.

Growth & durability: Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant once established.

Usage: Makes an excellent specimen plant—fantastic in borders, containers, or as a dramatic focal point in beds.

Care & Cultivation:

Prefers full sun (minimum 6–8 hours of sunlight daily) and well-drained soil.

Low-maintenance: requires little fertilizer; prune back in spring to promote fresh growth.

In cooler climates, it’s often treated as an annual, but in warmer zones (USDA 9–11), it can behave as a short-lived perennial.

Watch for slugs, snails, or occasional rust—good spacing and airflow help prevent issues.
