Graceful Grasses® 'Sky Rocket' Fountain Grass | Proven Winners®

Ivory-striped green blades with airy, smoky-blush plumes.

'Sky Rocket' Fountain Grass is an upright ornamental grass grown for its clean variegated foliage and soft, arching plumes, bringing height, movement, and contrast to sunny containers and landscape plantings.

What You'll Use It For

• Adding vertical height and lift to container designs
• Creating contrast against solid green or dark foliage
• Lining borders with a clean, structured rhythm
• Softening hard edges with movement and texture
• Building layered plantings with light and dark contrast

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

Ivory-striped foliage keeps the plant looking crisp and defined, even from a distance. The smoky-blush plumes add softness and movement without overwhelming surrounding plants. It holds its upright form through heat and doesn't collapse mid-season, making it easy to use when you need consistent structure in sunny plantings.
