Pennisetum Red Buttons (Red Buttons Fountain Grass) is a striking ornamental grass known for its bold red, button-like flower heads that rise above the foliage. These fluffy, cylindrical blooms create a stunning contrast against the fine, arching green leaves. This compact, low-maintenance grass is ideal for adding texture and a pop of colour to both garden beds and containers.
The plant forms a neat, clumping habit with its soft, cascading foliage, offering an elegant, fountain-like effect. Pennisetum Red Buttons is perfect for creating a vibrant border or accent in gardens. The flowers bloom in late summer and last through autumn, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
