Pennisetum rubrum (Purple Fountain Grass) — an eye-catching ornamental grass prized for its deep burgundy foliage and graceful, arching habit. Reaching 2–4 feet tall with feathery, bottlebrush-like plumes that emerge in summer and persist into fall, this warm-season perennial (often treated as an annual in colder zones) adds color, texture, and movement to borders, containers, and mass plantings. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil; drought-tolerant once established. Low-maintenance and deer-resistant, it performs well in cottage, contemporary, and prairie-style landscapes. Trim back in late winter or after growth dies back; in colder climates lift and overwinter in containers or treat as an annual. Ideal for attracting pollinators and creating striking contrast with green-leaved plants.
