#3 Gallon
'Red Head' Fountain Grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Red Head') is a popular, fast-growing ornamental perennial valued for its large, smoky-burgundy bottlebrush plumes that emerge in mid-summer and persist through fall. It forms a 3-4 ft. tall, 2-3 ft. wide mound of green, arching blades that turn gold in autumn. This hardy, low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant prefers full sun and well-drained soil.

Key Characteristics and Care
Dimensions: Typically grows to a height of 3-4 feet, sometimes up to 5 feet, with an equal spread.
Lifespan & Growth: It is a hardy herbaceous perennial in zones 5-9. It is fast-growing and thrives in full sun, though it can tolerate light shade.
Appearance: Features fine-textured green foliage, changing to golden-tan in the fall. Its defining feature is the 8-10 inch long, burgundy-red plumes, which are larger and bloom earlier than typical fountain grass.
Maintenance: Low-maintenance, requiring only to be cut back to the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.
Uses: Excellent for container planting, mass planting for dramatic, wavy, color-shifting effects, and as a specimen plant in mixed borders or rocky gardens.
Hardiness: Drought-tolerant once established and generally deer-resistant.
