Pennisetum setaceum ‘Fireworks’ is a colorful, clumping fountain grass known for its arching blades streaked with pink, burgundy, cream, and green. Growing 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it produces soft, reddish-purple plumes in late summer that add motion and texture. This warm-season grass brings a tropical, eye-catching look to garden beds and pots, especially when paired with darker foliage or neutral tones. While not winter-hardy in most climates, it’s often used as an annual accent or overwintered indoors.
