'Karley Rose' is the most famous Fountain Grass, known for its highly decorative rose-purple plumes that catch sunlight like no other. Excellent in containers and when planted en masse, 'Karley Rose' is a cold-hardy variety that holds its sprays of blooms throughout the season. Tolerant of both drought and partial shade, this fountain grass delivers plenty of winter interest and has no major pest or disease issues. PP#12909 (Pennisetum orientale)
Deep pink plumes form in mid summer and continue through fall.

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
24-36"
tall x 24-36" wide. Karley Rose is probably the most famous of the
Fountain Grasses, due to its lovely plumes, which reach peak height in midsummer
and persist into the fall. This beauty is useful in full sun or partial shade.
Karley Rose adds dramatic effect in perennial gardens, landscaping, or
wildflower meadows. Perennial Fountain Grasses are a prized group for
landscaping accents, and they live up their name. They are mound-forming,
creating a fountain-like focal point wherever they grow, with a spectacular
bloom in midsummer. Ornamental Grasses provide texture, structure, and beauty
that will set off your favorite blooming flowers. Not only a dynamic element to
your garden, Ornamental Grasses are extremely easy to grow, maintain, and will
provide additional interest by evolving in seasons while the rest of your
garden may be dormant. Cut back foliage to the ground in late winter or spring
before new growth emerges.
