Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:
Pennisetum rubrum ‘Minimus’ shows its richest colors in full sun, where its burgundy tones become more vibrant.
Keep the soil slightly moist, avoiding waterlogging, especially in containers.
Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer to encourage growth and vibrant foliage.
Remove spent plumes to keep a tidy appearance. Grown as an annual in cold climates, or overwintered in pots in milder regions.
