Rubrum Pennisetum (Purple Fountain Grass)

$2999 USD
1 Gallon Growers Pot

Pennisetum setaceum ‘Rubrum’ 

This striking ornamental grass is loved for its rich purplish-maroon foliage and graceful, arching habit. Throughout the season, soft rose-red plumes rise above the foliage, adding movement, texture, and bold color to landscapes and containers alike. 

‘Rubrum’ forms a tidy, dense clump that thrives in heat and sun, making it a standout choice for drought-tolerant gardens. Whether used as a focal point, in mass plantings, or mixed into containers, this grass brings dramatic contrast and season-long interest. 

Why you’ll love it:

  • Bold purple foliage that stands out all season
  • Soft, feathery rose-red plumes add movement and texture
  • Excellent heat and drought tolerance
  • Beautiful in landscapes, borders, and large containers

  • Height: 3–5 ft
  • Width: 2–4 ft
  • Shape: Upright, arching clump
  • Exposure: Full Sun
  • Foliage: Purplish maroon
  • Hardiness Zones: 9–11 (commonly grown as an annual in colder climates)

Add ‘Rubrum’ Purple Fountain Grass to your garden for dramatic color, soft texture, and effortless summer beauty.

Order and Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
