Long-lasting, the Redhead Fountain Grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Redhead') makes the argument that maybe it's redheads who have more fun. This delightful and dramatic warm-season Ornamental Grass is extravagantly playful and pretty! These majestic plumes appear in mid to late summer long before other grasses send up their flowers.
Unlike some other Grasses, this one produces 5-inch long soft plumes that tickle the air as they bob and sway in the wind. These plumes truly draw attention with their red-violet coloration. And the fun of these puffy, fluffy plumes lasts into summer and fall. In fact, these dynamic plumes transform from their deep reddish-purple to an ethereal silver in fall and remain present through winter!
While these showy plumes give you a lot to write home about, the foliage and form of Redhead Fountain Grass are also quite remarkable. This grass has fine-textured foliage with a lovely yellow-green hue that turns golden as the winter weather arrives. And the Redhead Fountain Grass's form exemplifies that classic fountain form and keeps this form throughout its life. Its narrow leaves shoot toward the sky and then gracefully arch toward the ground.
Planting and Application:
This eye-catching plant is so easy to grow. There are few gardens that can't use at least one of these dramatic little charmers. Use your Redhead Fountain Grass as a back border or a thriller accent. Its medium green foliage and unique plumes make it a great specimen deserving of attention. You'll love the motion they lend a Rock Garden. With a rounded, breezy, natural appeal, it will catch your eye for a long beat and visually bring texture, form, and color to your landscape year-round.
Try lining a staircase with a series of containers. Try a single plant to smaller containers to spill around the base of larger potted plants. Try using this sophisticated, compact grass around seating areas in containers or on front porches in the sun. You'll get year-round easy care color without much maintenance to earn it!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
This fast-growing grass thrives in heat, drought, humidity, and intense sun. It's easy to grow and deer resistant. Just provide your Redhead Fountain Grass with full sun and water it deeply as it becomes established. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 5 through 9, these are very adaptable, small-scale Ornamental Grasses!
Warm-season grasses green up later in the spring, but really shine once the hot, dry summer weather kicks in! Mulch with 3-4 inches deep around the plants will also help to keep the roots cool in the hotter summer locations. Prune down to 4-6 inches in early spring before you see new growth, and rake out the clump to remove dead debris and leaves.
