Red Head Ornamental Grasses (Pennisetum Red Head)

Description

Red Head Maiden Grass is a striking option for gardeners seeking grass plants for the garden that bring height and texture. Its reddish flower heads contrast beautifully with green foliage and can complement other flowering grasses, perennials and shrubs.

Use it as a feature plant in a sunny border or plant several together for a fuller display. Although the collection URL references Red Head Maiden Grass, the supplied keywords also include Pennisetum Red Head. These are different grass varieties, so this page focuses on the listed Miscanthus cultivar.
