Pennisetum Rubrum, or Purple Fountain Grass, is an ornamental grass with burgundy foliage and soft, arching flower spikes. Ideal for UAE landscapes, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, adding movement and contrast to garden beds or containers. Drought-tolerant and easy to grow, it’s great for borders, mass planting, or softening hardscapes with its flowing form and rich color.
