The Karley Rose Fountain Grass is a gorgeous mound of slender green leaves topped with long fluffy spikes of flowers from June to October. These begin a beautiful rose-purple with smokey overtones, gradually turning sandy-beige as they mature. A profusion of new stems keep rising up, and they are lovely to cut for a vase indoors. Growing to 3 feet tall it looks perfect among shrubs or perennial flowers and grasses are an essential part of every modern garden.
- Graceful mound of slender, arching green leaves
- Large fluffy flower-heads of dusky rose-purple
- Very long bloom period from June to October
- Beautiful, vigorous and non-invasive
- Great choice for open, sunny spots in your garden
The Karley Rose Fountain Grass should be grown in full sun and in well-drained soil. Water regularly during hot and dry weather. It is normally free of pests or diseases and deer don’t bother it. A simple trim back to a few inches tall in fall or early spring is all the attention it needs to thrive. It is non-invasive and won’t take over your garden.
