Description:
Pennisetum setaceum 'Rupelli'
Graceful, arching foliage in rich burgundy tones gives this ornamental grass a lush, cascading presence through summer and fall. Soft, rosy-purple flower plumes rise above the leaves in mid-season, catching the light beautifully and adding texture and motion to garden beds, borders, or large containers. The color deepens as the season progresses, creating a dramatic contrast against green or silver companion plants.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this grass prefers warmth and consistent moisture during establishment but is drought-tolerant once mature. It performs as a tender perennial in warm zones but is grown as an annual in cooler climates, where it maintains excellent vigor and color until frost.
