Caring for Purpe Fountain Grass, Penniston rubrum, is pretty easy. It grows fast and comes back year after year. You can plant this in a bed or container and use it as the main focus. It can grow as tall as 3 feet and fill a space quick.  It can take most soils and does not need a great amount of water, it is pretty hardy and does need full sun. The plumes that come out feel like a cat’s tail, soft.  I have this plant in my garden (and you can see it if you look through earlier posts) and it is probably the prettiest plant I have. Out of all of my plants, this one did not wilt any all summer long. It took the heat and drought like a trooper. I do plan to buy more of them next year and plant them in several places.
