Popular ornamental grasses. Our current garden has a few red ones that arrived without a particular name. After we installed our waterfall pond, we planted six of them behind the stream in the back; within a couple of months, they had grown into a grand line of burgundy, waving in the wind. These persisted through early winter, but were done in by a hard January freeze; they refused to return even from the roots. We replaced one of them with a different pennisetum variety ('Princess Caroline'), one with even darker leaves with white-fuzzy hairs.
