Fountain Grass 'Karley Rose' 3 Gallon

Pennisetum orientale

Fountain Grass, also known as Pennisetum, is a family producing compact, dense, mounded varieties that are popular, reliable, and easily recognized by their cat-tail or bottle brush-like blooms that hover above finely-textured, arching foliage. They perform well in sunny containers, small spaces, and in groups or as specimens. 'Karley Rose' is a very attractive fountain grass, known for its showy rose-purple plumes that hover over deep green, mounded foliage from midsummer into fall. Combine with Perovskia, black-eyed Susans and fall blooming Sedum. Plant in well-drained, average to poor soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. In general, cut ornamental grasses down as low as possible in late winter. Divide in spring when necessary.
