PRINCE FOUNTAINGRASS
Pennisetum 'Prince' is a striking ornamental grass that commands attention with its dramatic, deep purple-to-black foliage, which maintains its intense color throughout the growing season. Unlike many other fountain grasses, 'Prince' features thick, broad leaves that create a bold, upright, and architectural silhouette. As the season progresses, it produces large, dark burgundy-to-black flower spikes that rise above the foliage, adding texture and movement to the landscape.
Pennisetum 'Prince' thrives in full sun. It thrives in well-draining soil and appreciates consistent moisture during the heat of summer, though it is reasonably tolerant once established. While it is a vigorous grower, you should provide it with plenty of room to spread, as its substantial mass can crowd out smaller neighbors.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball (or select a large, well-draining container), ensuring the top of the crown sits level with the surrounding soil line to promote healthy drainage. Immediately water the area thoroughly to eliminate air pockets, then apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture while keeping it a few inches away from the stems.
