'Rubrum'
'Purple Fountain Grass'
The exceptionally showy and popular, ornamental, perennial
grass grows in dense clumps of burgundy coloured foliage,
with arching purple-pink flower plumes in summer.
| Uses: | Decorative and durable as a landscape specimen or group planting, and excellent in containers. Striking colour accent in perennial beds, road and parking lot borders, and offers good erosion control on embankments. |
| Flowers: | Blooms prolifically during warm weather, with foxtail-like arching flower plumes displayed above the foliage. Sterile hybrid. |
| Growth Habit: | Grows rapidly to form dense clumps up to 1.5m tall, spreading 1.2m across. |
| Growing Guide: | Grow in fertilise, free draining soil for best results. Once established, tolerant of high temperatures, humidity, wind, drought, and able to withstand light frost. |
