Pennisetum alopecuroides - Love and Rockets
A compact and elegant dwarf fountain grass, ‘Love and Rockets’ features rich, wine-red bottlebrush plumes that arch gracefully above dense clumps of deep green foliage, which often develop red-tinged tips and warm autumn tones. Mature plants reach approximately 60–90 cm (24–36 in) tall and wide, providing season-long structure and fiery contrast. The vibrant blooms emerge in mid to late summer, lasting well into autumn (July–October) and gradually softening in color as they age. Exceptionally low-maintenance and adaptable, this grass thrives in moist, well‑drained soil under full sun, and is deer and rabbit resistant—making it ideal for borders, containers, or mass plantings in zone 5–9 gardens.
