Pennisetum rubra, commonly known as Red Fountain Grass, is a striking ornamental grass that brings movement and colour to any garden. With its distinctive deep red to burgundy foliage and feathery plumes, this perennial creates a dramatic focal point in borders, containers, or as a standalone specimen.
This hardy grass thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it ideal for Australian gardens. It reaches a mature height of 60–90 cm, with an elegant arching habit that sways gracefully in the breeze. The vibrant red tones intensify in cooler months, providing year-round visual interest.
Perfect for adding texture and warmth to contemporary or cottage-style landscapes, Red Fountain Grass pairs beautifully with silver-foliaged plants and complements native plantings. Low-maintenance once established, it's drought-tolerant and attracts pollinators with its feathery flower spikes.
