Pennisetum alopecuroides Fountain Grass makes a wonderful accent in the sunny landscape, or plant it in drifts for a massed effect for xeriscape landscaping. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into a larger pot for continued growing.
Grow it along a pathway, in a hot area with rocks and gravel, or in planter boxes and pots to decorate a terrace or patio. Plant your Purple Fountain Grass in a sunny place for the best color and strongest growth.
