Maintenance guide
Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:
Pennisetum rubrum shows its best colors in full sun, with the strongest contrast between its burgundy foliage and feathery plumes.
Water regularly, especially in hot weather, while avoiding waterlogging.
A monthly balanced fertilizer encourages vigorous growth and extended blooming.
Cut back spent plumes and tidy foliage at season’s end. In colder climates, grow as an annual or overwinter in containers.
