Pennisetum setaceum ‘Fireworks’


Variegated Fountain Grass

 USDA Zone: 9-10

Plant number: 8.300.220


An extremely showy variation of the ever-popular Purple Fountain Grass. This forms a midsized mound of arching deep burgundy-purple leaves, each striped hot pink along the edges to add that extra flash of colour. Arching red bottlebrush flowers appear in late summer, gradually ageing to tan. A wonderful container plant, well worth growing even as an annual in colder regions. May be wintered in a basement window, cutting back to 6 inches in late fall and watering through the winter to keep it actively growing. USPP#18504: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
