Cultivar Notes -
Sky Rocket
Green leaves with white striped margins form a beautiful vase-like clump topped with smoky pink, arching plumes that turn cream as they age. Since the plumes are sterile, the plant blooms from midsummer all the way into mid-fall.

A terrific companion to the temperennial grass Pennisetum s. ‘Fireworks’ , this green and white sport is a strong grower that exhibits stable variegation all season long.

This tender grass is perfect for adding height and structure to combination container plantings. Like ‘Fireworks’, it should be grown as an annual in most parts of the country.

Series Notes -
Graceful Grasses®
Proven Winners’® selection of ornamental grasses has won acclaim, with top performers in university trials nationwide. Whether planted en masse in the landscape or catching the eye as the centerpiece of a patio planter, Graceful Grasses® provide texture, color, movement and interest.
Species Notes -
Pennisetum setaceum
Often grown as an annual in northern zones, Purple Fountain Grass is splendid in containers, around ponds, or as a focal point in the garden.
Genus Notes -
Pennisetum
These lovely grasses are favorites, distinguished by arching, feathery bottle-brush flowers spilling over a cascading mound of foliage.
