karley rose fountain grass seeds Karley Rose Fountain Grass

Karley Rose Fountain Grass (Pennisetum orientale 'Karley Rose') displays clouds of smoky rose-purple plumes which burst into color in June. New plumes are continuously displayed all summer long and gently sway in the slightest breeze.

The value of this long-lived and low-maintenance Fountain Grass comes from the varied colors and textures of the foliage as well as the striking pinkish-purple flower spikes. From earliest spring into the dead of winter, this grass offers an arresting display that complements flowering plants nearby while making an elegant statement on its own.

A cold-hardy replacement for Purple Fountain Grasses, Karley Rose tolerates USDA growing zones 5 to 9 as a perennial ornamental warm-season grass, but colder growing zones can enjoy this as a fast-growing annual accent too!
