Pennisetum alopecuroides Purple Lea

Purple Lea® Pennisetum boasts feathery purple flowers that are showy and contrast with its full sized green foliage. It has a clumping growth habit with beautifully arching leaves. NOTE: Do not get this native Australian Pennisetum alopecuroides confused with the invasive African variety (P. setaceum). The native Australian varieties have a much wider plume than the exotic variety, and are non-invasive making them a safer choice. Size: 80 - 90cm high x 80 - 90cm wide. Uses: Mass or accent plantings for borders, rockeries and low maintenance gardens.
