💜 PURPLE ORNAMENTAL FOLIAGE

Purple Fountain Grass is valued for its rich foliage color and graceful growth habit.

Color intensity can vary naturally with:

• Light exposure
• Temperature
• Plant maturity
• Season
• Growing conditions

Young starter plants may not display the same intense coloration or fullness as established mature specimens.

🌾 ORNAMENTAL PLUMES

Established Fountain Grass can develop attractive flower plumes that add texture and movement to the landscape.

Your 5–8″ starter may arrive without plumes.

FLOWER PLUMES, MATURE COLORATION, AND A SPECIFIC BLOOM DATE ARE NOT GUARANTEED AT DELIVERY.

🪴 LANDSCAPE & CONTAINER USE

Purple Fountain Grass can create attractive contrast in:

• Patio containers
• Mixed planters
• Ornamental borders
• Accent plantings
• Tropical-style landscapes
• Warm-season gardens
• Decorative grass collections

Always plan permanent landscape placement according to the mature size and behavior of the exact species/cultivar.

☀️ LIGHT

Provide growing conditions appropriate for the verified Pennisetum species/cultivar and local climate.

Young nursery plants should be acclimated gradually when transitioning into substantially stronger outdoor sunlight.

💧 WATER & ESTABLISHMENT

Provide appropriate moisture while the young plant establishes after transplanting.

Maintain suitable drainage and adjust watering according to temperature, rainfall, sunlight, soil, and season.

🌡️ PERENNIAL OR ANNUAL?

Do not advertise Purple Fountain Grass as universally perennial.

Cold tolerance and perennial behavior depend on the exact species/cultivar and local climate. In colder regions, some types are grown as warm-season annuals or overwintered with protection.

If you include a USDA zone range, verify it for your exact stock.
