Karley Rose Fountain Grass

Karley Rose Fountain Grass (Pennisetum orientale 'Karley Rose') displays clouds of smoky rose-purple plumes which burst into color in June. New plumes are continuously displayed all summer long and gently sway in the slightest breeze.

The value of this long-lived and low-maintenance Fountain Grass comes from the varied colors and textures of the foliage as well as the striking pinkish-purple flower spikes. From earliest spring into the dead of winter, this grass offers an arresting display that complements flowering plants nearby while making an elegant statement on its own.

A cold-hardy replacement for Purple Fountain Grasses, Karley Rose tolerates USDA growing zones 5 to 9 as a perennial ornamental warm-season grass, but colder growing zones can enjoy this as a fast-growing annual accent too!

Planting and Application:

Karley Rose is a vigorous growing Ornamental Grass that looks spectacular when planted in masses! Shining in any sunny setting, this graceful flowing and arching perennial especially complements large combination planters! Planting in between perennials and shrubs is an excellent way to add a new dimension to the landscape!

Fantastic color throughout the sun garden as wonderful edging and fine-textured filler. Add pops of color to the Rock garden and in those hell strips along the roadside, add fringe along the driveway and pathways, and use a row or ring around a tree or sculpture as lovely facer plants! Plant Karley Rose on slopes and en masse as a colorful drift that helps slow erosion.
