Pennisetum setaceum Rubrum

Pennisetum setaceum Rubrum is a beautiful grass but it is no use pretending that it is anything other than difficult to overwinter in this country. It has traditionally been grown from divisions imported form warmer climes but this year we are experimenting with seedlings (also imported), which will be available as liners in early June. It doesn’t leave a very long selling season, but they do sell on sight. These are not on the availability list yet, but I would prefer to sell them in advance so that there is no delay in shipping them out.
