Pennisetum rubrum Dwarf (Dwarf Red Fountain Grass)

Pennisetum rubrum Dwarf (Dwarf Red Fountain Grass) is a compact and attractive ornamental grass with deep red foliage that transitions to vibrant purple and reddish hues as it matures. This smaller variety of the popular fountain grass features soft, bottlebrush-like flower heads that add texture and movement to the landscape. Ideal for smaller spaces, it’s perfect for containers, borders, or low-maintenance gardens.

The plant’s fine-textured, arching leaves provide year-round interest, while its compact size makes it a versatile choice for both formal and informal plantings. In late summer, the showy flower spikes bloom, complementing the colourful foliage with a touch of softness. Pennisetum rubrum Dwarf thrives in full sun and is drought-tolerant once established.
