Pennisetum (Fountain Grass) 'Cherry Sparkler'

Pennisetum setaceum

2L Plant

  • Colour changing foliage – variegated leaves start green and white, then flush with pink and burgundy as the light intensifies, looking like a sparkler firework
  • Soft tactile plumes – in late summer, it sends up soft, bottlebrush-like flower plumes that dance in the wind, adding movement and texture to patio displays
  • How to grow – plant in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil and water regularly in summer but avoid waterlogging. Ideal for pots that can be moved indoors before frosts
  • Deciduous perennial – RHS H3 half-hardy, tolerates temperatures to approx. -5°C; drops foliage in winter and produces new growth when conditions improve
  • Garden-ready plant – one well‑rooted 2L pot‑grown specimen, securely packaged without its nursery pot and ready to plant into prepared ground when local conditions allow

Please note: our pictures illustrate a mature plant to inspire you with its full potential given time and the appropriate growing conditions. The plants you receive will be well-rooted to the specified size purchased and may look different depending on the time of year.

1) The plants are first removed from their plastic pot or cell tray. The roots are then submerged in water and wrapped in paper towel to ensure the plants have water on their journey.

2) After this, the plants are placed into biodegradable bags to retain the moisture and protect the outer packaging.

3) We then tightly roll the plants in a protective cardboard roll before placing them in their boxes for postage.

We deliver to all of the U.K. mainland and Isle of Man. Unfortunately we are unable to deliver to the Channel Islands at this moment in time. Delivery is FREE on all orders, so make sure you have a good look around and fill your basket!

In the unlikely event your plant arrives damaged, please take a photo and contact us HERE so we can work out a resolution.
If you need to return your plant to us for any reason, please ensure the rootball has some moisture and resend the plant as it was received.
