Graceful Grasses® Purple Fountain Grass | Proven Winners®

Bronze-plum blades with arching, smoky-wine plumes.

Purple Fountain Grass is an upright ornamental grass grown for its rich foliage and flowing plumes, bringing contrast, movement, and structure to sunny containers and landscape plantings.

What You'll Use It For

• Anchoring containers with height and strong contrast
• Creating dramatic focal points in beds and borders
• Mass planting for a bold, cohesive look
• Pairing with chartreuse, silver, or bright blooms
• Adding movement and late-season texture

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

Bronze-plum foliage adds warmth and depth, giving you contrast without going too dark or heavy. The smoky-wine plumes bring movement while keeping that classic fountain shape intact. It holds its structure through heat and sun, making it a reliable choice when you need both presence and consistency in a planting.
