Red Head Fountain Grass

  • 100% money-back guarantee
  • Free shipping on all orders over

PLEASE NOTE: Plants shipped in winter and early spring may arrive dormant. Deciduous perennials lose their leaves or foliage during winter and may appear "lifeless", but will burst out with new growth in spring!

Red Head Fountain Grass (Pennisetum advena Redhead) is a marvelous ornamental grass for smaller gardens, but also looks fabulous as a mass planting. The upright, green foliage arches twoards its tips and is is topped by deepest purple, cat-tail like plumes, creating a magnificent contrast with the leaves. But the show's not over yet! In fall, the foliage turns to gold and the plumes ripen to a rich, wheat color. It also blooms a little earlier in the fall than most ornamental grasses and maintains its form through the winter.

Shipping Methods

Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.

Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).

Fantastic

Red Head Fountain Grass

Plant came quickly and was moist and green. I planted it 2 days later with the root fertilizer and can say now that it is doing well and showing quite a bit of growth. I do feel like the price was a bit on the high side for this size and type of perennial. That’s the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars.

Red Head Fountain Grass

These plants arrived in excellent condition. They were planted about four days after reception, and so far they seem to be thriving. I am confident that they will continue to do well and become a prominent feature in my garden.
