Pennisetum × advena ‘Sky Rocket’


Variegated Green Fountain Grass

 USDA Zone: 9-9

Plant number: 8.300.290


This variation on Purple Fountain Grass forms a vase-shaped, clump of white and green variegated, arching blades. Strong grower with stable variegation all season. Arching, smokey-pink plumes appear in mid summer, last into mid fall, gradually ageing to cream. A great container plant. Well worth growing even as an annual in colder regions.
