Pennisetum advena 'Rubrum Dwarf' | 140mm

Plant Description:

Pennisetum advena 'Rubrum Dwarf', commonly known as Dwarf Red Fountain Grass, is a striking and compact ornamental grass that adds a splash of vibrant colour to Australian gardens. With its arching, deep burgundy-red foliage, this variety grows to around 45-60 cm in height, making it perfect for smaller spaces or as a border plant. As the season progresses, the foliage becomes even more intense in colour, creating a rich contrast against other plants. In late summer through autumn, Rubrum Dwarf produces delicate, silvery-pink flower plumes that gently sway in the breeze, adding movement and texture to the garden. This hardy grass is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, thriving in a range of Australian climates, from coastal gardens to inland areas. Its compact size, vibrant colour, and attractive flowers make it an excellent choice for adding year-round interest and visual appeal to both modern and traditional landscapes.
