ARE you tired of your purple fountain grass [Pennisetum ×advena (formerly known as P. setaceum ‘Rubrum’)] not filling in the container? Are you exhausted from pruning your purple fountain grass crop with little to no bulking occurring? Are the flowering stems (culms) damaged during shipping because your crop is too tall?
