Purple Fountain Grass 'Red Riding Hood'

This striking ornamental grass forms elegant clumps of dark burgundy foliage, providing architectural structure and rich colour throughout the growing season. From summer into autumn, vibrant red, feathery plumes rise above the foliage, creating soft, flowing movement that catches light and adds drama to the garden.

Ideal for sunny borders, containers, or mass plantings, it pairs beautifully with softer-textured perennials and lighter foliage, offering contrast, height, and seasonal interest. The bold colour and airy plumes also attract wildlife, adding life and dynamic appeal to outdoor spaces.

Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, it is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Cutting back old growth in late winter encourages fresh, vigorous growth in the following season.

Perfect for gardeners seeking bold colour, vertical structure, and long-lasting visual impact, this ornamental grass delivers movement, elegance, and seasonal drama, making it a standout addition to sunny, contemporary, or naturalistic garden designs.
