Pennisetum Advena Rubrum Dwarf (Dwarf Purple Fountain Grass) is a compact and striking ornamental grass with deep purple-red foliage and delicate, fluffy flower heads. This dwarf variety retains the beauty of the full-sized Pennisetum Advena Rubrum but in a more compact form, making it ideal for smaller gardens, containers, or as an edging plant. Its vibrant purple foliage and feathery flowers add texture and visual interest, especially when swaying in the breeze.
Pennisetum Advena Rubrum Dwarf (Dwarf Purple Fountain Grass) thrives in full sun to partial shade and is perfect for low-maintenance landscaping. It’s an excellent choice for adding seasonal colour and structure to garden beds, rockeries, or as a border plant, and is tolerant of various soil conditions. Its drought tolerance makes it a great option for waterwise gardens.
