Pennisetum Red, also known as Red Fountain Grass, is a stunning ornamental grass prized for its vibrant crimson foliage and graceful arching habit. Ideal for adding color and texture to gardens, landscapes, and containers, discover how this versatile plant can elevate your outdoor spaces.

Plant Care:

  1. Light: Plant Pennisetum Red in full sun for best growth and vibrant coloration. It can tolerate partial shade but may become leggy and less vibrant.

  2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot weather. Water deeply and allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

  3. Soil: Plant in well-draining soil with good fertility. Adding organic matter can improve soil structure and moisture retention.

  4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring to early fall) to promote healthy growth and flowering.

  5. Pruning: Trim back dead or damaged foliage in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth. Cut back the entire plant to about 6 inches above the ground in early spring to rejuvenate growth.

  6. Winter Care: In cooler climates, Pennisetum Red is often treated as an annual or brought indoors during the winter months. In warmer climates, it may remain evergreen with minimal care.
