Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

Eggplant Purple Foliage First Knight™ Napier Grass

  • Ravishing Deep Purple-Black Foliage
  • Disease and Insect Resistant
  • Excellent as an Annual in Cold Climates

Tall, dark, handsome, brave. Need we say more? If your garden needs a knight in shining armor, you need the First Knight™ Napier Grass (Pennisetum x 'First Knight'). As known as "fountain grass," this variety features the deepest purple to black coloration in the nursery. With stunning looks, it's easy to see why so many landscape artists are turning to this handsome grass for color and texture, but it's superior performance and excellent disease resistance earns the respect of gardeners everywhere.

The First Knight™ Napier Grass offers some of the deepest violets. Its strong sword-shaped foliage erupts from its center where it appears to be almost black. Unlike other fountain grasses, this one tends to stand more upright and only folds towards the ends of its leaves.

The rich purple of this ornamental grass makes it ideal for adding drama and a bold statement to a garden bed. It's guaranteed to set off bright greens, vibrant yellows (especially chartreuse), and reds. And with its upright nature and strong leaves, it offers textural interest and variation when paired with more classic bushy selections.

With its tall stature, the First Knight™ Napier Grass makes an excellent accent plant or as a mass planting that will attract attention and warrant questions.

Like the bravest warriors, the First Knight™ Napier Grass excels in growth and towers to tall heights without needing constant maintenance. This knight prefers full sun or partial shade and medium moisture soil that drains well. You'll want to shower yours with regular watering during the hottest and driest times of the year.

The First Knight™ Napier Grass thrives in warmer regions but also flourishes as an annual beyond its growing zones. It springs to life quickly after planting and establishes itself without much fuss on your part. This knight was bred to resist common diseases and insects thanks to Dr. Wayne Hanna from the University of Georgia.

This plant earned its knighthood by its ability to grow vigorously and dazzle onlookers with its bold purple foliage. If you're looking for color and resilience, look no further! The First Knight™ Napier Grass is one of the best ornamental grasses you will find. Order one for yourself today!
