Crimson fountain grass, also known as Rose fountain grass, African fountain grass, Tall red fescue, Swamp foxtail grass
Crimson fountain grass is a low-maintenance ornamental grass known for its arching, burgundy-colored leaves and feathery plumes. It thrives in full sun and tolerates a variety of soil conditions but requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot. One special care point is that crimson fountain grass needs to be cut back to the ground in late winter to encourage vigorous, healthy new growth in spring. Regular watering during the first growing season is essential to establish a deep, extensive root system.
