Purple Fountain Grass 'Rubrum'

his ornamental grass forms elegant clumps of deep burgundy leaves, providing year-round colour and architectural interest. During summer and autumn, slender flower plumes rise above the foliage, creating soft, flowing movement that catches the light and draws the eye.

Ideal for sunny borders, containers, or mass plantings, its rich colour and upright yet graceful habit offer contrast against lighter foliage plants or soft-textured perennials. The plumes add seasonal drama and attract wildlife, enhancing the garden’s visual and ecological appeal.

Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, it is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Cutting back old stems in late winter encourages fresh growth and maintains a tidy appearance.

Perfect for gardeners seeking bold colour, vertical structure, and long-lasting interest, this ornamental grass delivers striking visual impact, effortless elegance, and movement in sunny garden spaces, making it a standout feature in both contemporary and naturalistic plantings.
