Maintenance guide

Pennisetum ‘Prince’

Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:

Light

Pennisetum ‘Prince’ thrives in full sun, where its purple foliage deepens to a near-black hue. Give it ample space to highlight its bold, upright presence.

Watering

Water consistently during summer to encourage strong growth, while avoiding standing water.

Nutrition

A monthly dose of balanced fertilizer will enhance foliage density and extend its ornamental appeal.

Trim and care

Cut back or tidy foliage at the end of the season. In colder regions, grow it as an annual or overwinter in a container.
