2. Prairie Winds® Lemon Squeeze

3. Puppy Love
Click to display
This seedling of ‘Ginger Love’ has the same intermediate height as its parent, but with noticeably darker seed heads. Its graceful, arching habit has medium to dark green foliage with burgundy accents. The darker red inflorescences begin to show color in late summer and continues until frost. Since this is not a sterile variety, make sure to deadhead seed heads so they don't seed around.

Fountain Grass (Dwarf) 
4. Hameln

Fountain Grass (Variegated Red) 
7. Fireworks
Click to display
The first-ever variegated Purple Fountain Grass! This striking cultivar was discovered and selected from a batch of P. ‘Rubrum’. The new leaves are longitudinally striped with white, green, and burgundy, lending a candy cane-like appearance to the foliage. In full sun, the green and white stripes become fully infused with hot pink, turning the entire clump into a glowing mass of hot pink and red foliage.

Like ‘Rubrum’, large, reddish purple, arching bottlebrush plumes top the clump from midsummer to frost, turning tan as they age.

8. Purple Baron

Simply majestic, ‘Purple Baron's’ shiny, purple-burgundy foliage is the richest, darkest of all millets. Add a vertical, contrasting punch to beds of pastel pink, white, or lavender blooming annuals. Though short, ‘Purple Barron’ has a full, thick, massive habit. Birds flock to its large flower spikes right up to frost.
4C-NTrd Gal-Gr 30"-36"12"-14"9-11
  
9. Purple Majesty
Click to display
