Origin
The Pennisetum 'Rubrum' mix, also known as the purple fountain grass variety, has its origin in the warmer climates of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. This ornamental ornamental grass has been cultivated for centuries for its robust character and striking physical properties.

Characteristics
The most distinctive characteristic of the Pennisetum 'Rubrum' mix is undoubtedly its lush purple-red foliage and bristly, twisted ears. In summer, this grass variety produces long, slender, Bordeaux-red plumes that can bloom into the fall. The plant has a compact growth manner and can reach a height of 1 to 1.5 meters.

Care
The Pennisetum 'Rubrum' mix requires relatively little maintenance. The lawn thrives best in full sun or light shade and with well-drained soil. Although it is resistant to short periods of drought, it needs regular watering to grow optimally. The ornamental grass is not completely hardy in winter and needs to be protected from severe frost. Pruning in early spring encourages healthy new growth. The plant has no specific nutritional needs, but can benefit from occasional feeding.
