Purple Fountain Grass is one of our showiest and most versatile annual landscape grasses. This ornamental grass is planted for its attractive deep burgundy blades providing textural energy and style to a garden. Late spring, summer and fall burgundy-tan bottlebrush plumes give an extra textural touch. Pennisetum setaceum ‘Fireworks’ is a vibrant variegated variety with hot pink, cream and burgundy colored foliage.
