Description

Red Fountain Grass is a stunning tender perennial grown for its vibrant, burgundy-red foliage and long, dramatic flower plumes. It forms a large, arching clump of narrow, wine-colored leaves. Throughout summer and fall, it produces a profusion of long, fuzzy, pinkish-red flower spikes that sway above the foliage, eventually fading to a soft tan. It creates a bold, tropical effect and is best used as a dramatic annual accent or in containers in cooler climates.

• Vibrant Burgundy-Red Foliage & Plumes: Prized for its deep red to purple leaves and matching pinkish-red, bottlebrush flowers.

• Tall, Dramatic Presence: One of the tallest and most eye-catching fountain grasses, making a strong architectural statement.

• Heat and Drought Loving: Thrives in full sun and heat with moderate water. Excellent for adding color to hot, dry spots.

• Tender Perennial (Annual in cooler zones): Hardy only in frost-free zones (9-11). Elsewhere, treat as a spectacular summer annual.

• Ideal for Containers & Focal Points: Perfect as a thriller in large patio pots or as a standalone focal point in summer borders.
