Pennisetum x advena 'Rubrum' is a fast growing variety that makes a spectacular display, contrasting beautifully with other grasses and perennials.
The colourful foliage of Pennisetum 'Fireworks' is sure to make an impact in any garden display. Vibrant stripes of red, pink and green emerge before maturing to a rich shade of burgundy, providing a wide spectrum of colour. From mid-summer to autumn, arching purple flower spikes rise in a spectacular architectural display. The fluffy seedheads can be also cut to make elegant dried flowers.
