Description

Ornamental Fountain Grass. Golden feathery grass, Burgundy Reddish grass.

'Pennisetum setaceum' is a tender perennial fountain grass that is native to Africa, southeast Asia and the Middle East. Genus name comes from the Latin penna meaning feather and seta meaning bristle in reference to the flowers having long, feathery bristles.

It is a rapid-growing, clump-forming grass that produces arching, linear, narrow green leaves to 3 inces tall and late summer flower spikes that rise above the foliage to 4 inches tall. In warm areas where in may be grown as a perennial, it readily self seeds. In colder areas it dies in winter. Location means everything. Overall clump appearance is reminiscent of water spraying from a fountain, hence the common name.

'Rubrum', sometimes commonly called purple or red fountain grass, is a burgundy-red leaved cultivar that is not invasive under any circumstances because, unlike the species, it rarely sets seed. Showy, fluffy, burgundy-purple flowers in bottlebrush-like spikes (to 12 inces long) top flower stalks that arch upward and outward above the burgundy-red foliage clump in summer.
