Pennisetum rubrum is a perennial or semi-perennial herbaceous in warm climates and belongs to t

he family poaceaes.

It has its appeal in its thin and elongated burgundy leaves that curl and whose spikes stand out on the plant forming a very attractive bush, especially when they are waved by the air.

It needs a sunny or partial shade exposure and a rather sandy or very loose type soil for good drainage.

Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring, and can be cut up about 20cm from the ground.

It is not necessary to fertilize it normally (although good soil can be added if the plant is divided by early spring or early fall). It is usually free from diseases or pests.

This variety of pennisetum is non-invasive.
