DESCRIPTION

Purple Fountain Grass is an ornamental grass that is known for its striking purplish-red foliage and graceful, fountain-like growth habit. It produces long, slender stems that arch outward and feature soft, fluffy plumes of reddish-purple flowers that emerge in late summer and persist well into fall. This plant is relatively low-maintenance and can add a bold pop of colour and texture to any garden or landscape. It is also drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it a great option for gardens in a variety of climates.

Care Guide

  • Watering: Water once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions and soil type.
  • Pruning: At the end of the growing season, prune back the plant to about 6 inches above the ground level to promote new growth in the following season.
  • (Optional):Fertilize this plant once a year in the spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Alternatively, you can use a liquid fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season.
