Also known as Purple Fountain Grass, Red Fountain Grass, Burgundy Fountain Grass.
 
A large clump of 'Rubrum' swaying in the breeze can be quite an eye-catcher!

'Rubrum' is a perennial from South Africa, treated as an annual in northern growing areas. It is a rapid grower and a prolific bloomer, from early summer to frost. Dark red-burgundy color throughout the foliage and foxtail-like flowers. Prefers well-draining soil in full sun to partial shade. Great accent plant, and excellent in containers!

Great grass! Great price! April 10, 2008
Reviewer: Robert from West Chester, PA  
This is such a great looking grass. I've tried other grasses that offer burgundy color, but this is the only one that really stands out for me.

I can't believe this sale price! I just placed an order for 30 plants to place throughout my landscape. Even as an annual grass, this price can't be beat.

awesome color! April 30, 2007
Reviewer: Caroline from Atlanta, GA  
great bloomer and what great contrast color for a perennial bed! Too bad it's not hardy, but it grows so fast that it can be planted in spring and looks great within weeks. Maybe the new Prince and Princess from Athens Select will prove to be hardier. Till then, I'll keep planting purple fountain grass each spring.

purple fountain grasses April 30, 2007
Reviewer: Cindy   from LE CLAIRE, IA United States  
I live in zone 5 so the purple fountain grass is an annual plant for me.  I have ordered from Santa Rosa the past 2 years and they have excellent quality plants and very good service.  I worried due to the fact that they are so far away.
But they arrived looking very healthy and larger than I expected.  I would highly recommend this company to do business with.  Thumbs up to you!
