Description
Pennisetum 'Desert Plains' Fountain Grass is a cold-hardy selection of fountain grass, prized for its vibrant seasonal color and graceful form. This variety forms a tidy, upright clump of narrow green foliage that begins to turn burgundy in late summer, deepening through fall. In mid- to late summer, it produces a profusion of bottlebrush plumes that start deep burgundy and age to tan, swaying beautifully in the breeze.
Key Features:
-
Foliage: Medium green turning to burgundy and golden-orange in fall
-
Flower Heads: Burgundy-tinged bottlebrush plumes from midsummer to fall
-
Height & Spread: 3–4 feet tall and wide
-
Light Requirements: Full sun to light shade
-
Soil: Well-drained soil; drought-tolerant once established
-
Hardiness: USDA zones 5–9 (more cold-hardy than many other Pennisetum)
-
Maintenance: Cut back to ground level in late winter or early spring

Uses: Excellent in borders, mass plantings, containers, and for seasonal interest
-
Wildlife: Attracts birds and pollinators; plumes provide winter interest
