Why Purple Fountain Grass?
Purple Fountain Grass packs a one-two punch. First, it delivers purplish, burgundy-red foliage that sets your garden apart. And in addition to its unmatched foliage, it produces fluffy, purple flower spikes in the heat of summer for even more vibrancy.
And this gem of a plant is also a botanical bird feeder. The Purple Fountain's purple-plumed flowers are a natural source of sustenance for birds, making it ideal for adding to your pollinator garden.

I love my purple fountain grass.
Wonderful addition!
The purple fountain grass has been wonderful! It's thrived in some very hot and dry conditions and has grown quickly! It is a standout in my new bed and we have loved them so much. The grasses look exactly like the pictures. Great quality and will definitely add more to our yard
