Description

Showy upright growing grass to 4 feet tall with leaf blades that are variegated with longitudinal stripes of white, green and burgundy, imparting a candy-cane-like appearance to the new foliage. As with the typical Fountain Grass (Pennisetum x advena 'Rubrum') it has purple tassels in late summer that rise above the foliage. The variegation fades in bright light and through the season. -San Marcos Growers
