Everyone’s favorite redhead— and this time, no ’splaining needed. Pennisetum ‘Red Head’ brings in the theatrics early, just like Lucy walking into a scene with a plan (and maybe a scheme). Narrow, mid-green leaves arch into a soft, fountain-like mound, swaying with that classic, graceful flair.

In summer, it takes center stage with a show of smoky burgundy plumes that appear earlier than most ornamental grasses. Come fall, plumes transition to a fabulous silvery-bronze. Easygoing, eye-catching, and full of personality, this grass offers low effort, high impact— the perfect garden star with no high jinks to apologize for!
