An early bloomer coming into color with substantial 10 inch-long smoky-purple flowering plumes beginning mid- to late summer. The foliage becomes streaked with gold in autumn. Annual fountain grass is an outstanding accent plant for the annual border. It is very fast growing and will form a large clump. Thrives in most average, well-drained soils; avoid heavy, wet clay. Follow a regular watering schedule the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, tolerates mild drought. Prune back to 6 inches above ground in fall or spring and fertilize to rejuvenate. Treat as an annual in colder winter climates. Red fountain grass is an ornamental grass that is used in the landscape for its reddish foliage and showy flowers. The leaves of this 3 to 4 foot tall plant are narrow, curving, linear blades with a beautiful red cast. The purple and pink or copper colored inflorescence of red fountain grass sits atop a hollow, 3 foot long, nodding flower stalk. The feathery inflorescence is 12 inches long and occurs from early summer to frost. The fruits of this grass are small seeds that volunteer to form small plantlets nearby ## Features - Grown, packaged and shipped exclusively by Wekiva Foliage.

I ordered this size plant 6” pot because it was to go in the front garden as it has for the past three years. I planted it, watered everyday and it failed to grow as the same plant had in previous years. I contacted the seller and he said to return it after looking at the photos I sent. I couldn’t find the original carton or pot. Because I placed it-in a 4” pot and in a different box, the seller accused me of trying to return someone else’s plant because it wasn’t in the 6” pot and their box. The previous text also accused me of trying to grow the plant inside!The whole interchange was very insulting. And I am out of $35 and $12 to ship it back.I will NEVER order from him again ### ⭐ Not fit for purpose ie planting *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020* Plant was badly damaged. Dried up and battered ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend..I will be purchasing some more! *by L***0 on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2020* This plant was very pretty and it was fairly good sized. I was very pleased and it has sustained very well so far --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/180908627-red-fountain-grass-5-live-plants-in-6-inch-pots](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/180908627-red-fountain-grass-5-live-plants-in-6-inch-pots) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
