Maintenance guide
Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:
Pennisetum ‘First Knight’ thrives in full sun, which enhances the depth of its purple foliage. Plant it in an open space to showcase its bold, upright form.
Water regularly during summer to support vigorous growth, but avoid waterlogging.
A monthly dose of balanced fertilizer will encourage strong growth and maintain its vivid coloration.
Cut back or tidy foliage at the end of the season to keep a neat appearance. In cold climates, grow it as an annual or overwinter indoors.
