Red Fountain Grass – Vibrant Beauty for Your Landscape
About the Bloom
Immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of the Red Fountain Grass’s vibrant blooms. With feathery plumes of deep red, burgundy, or purple that sway gracefully in the breeze, this ornamental grass adds a pop of color and texture to your garden. The blooms typically appear in late summer and last throughout the fall, creating a captivating display that attracts butterflies and birds to your outdoor space.
What to Know About the Plant
The Red Fountain Grass features slender, arching leaves in shades of green or red, adding a touch of elegance to any landscape. This grass is deciduous, meaning it goes dormant in the winter months but regrows in the spring with renewed vigor. It typically reaches a height of 2-4 feet, with a spread of 1-2 feet, making it ideal for borders, containers, or mass plantings. Its compact, fountain-like shape creates a sense of movement and energy in your garden, enhancing its overall appeal.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Pair the Red Fountain Grass with a variety of fruit trees, such as Citrus, Fig, or Olive, to create a dynamic and visually striking fruitscape. The grass’s bold color and texture complement the lush greenery of fruit trees, adding contrast and interest to your garden design. Combine it with berry plants like Strawberries or Blueberries for a delightful mix of edibles and ornamentals. Tropical plants such as Banana or Pineapple add a tropical flair, while herbs like Basil or Mint provide a fragrant and flavorful addition to your landscape. By incorporating the Red Fountain Grass into your fruitscape, you’ll create a vibrant and harmonious garden that delights the senses and nourishes the soul.

Landscaping with Grasses
These grasses are so incredibly lovely to use in the landscape because they can be used in so many ways. They can border a bed or be the centerpiece. They can be scattered throughout to create tuffs of texture to contrast your shrubs and trees. Or they can be neatly mixed in with flowers to accentuate the colors and shapes. We love these grasses because of all the fun we have planting them and watching them grow to be such a joy.
Recommended Fertilizers for Planting and Maintenance
- Starter Fertilizer:  Plant with Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus. This will increase root mass and help avoid transplant loss in difficult planting conditions.
- Fertilizer to Maintain: Grasses will do well when fertilized each year with Espoma Organic Palm-tone Fertilizer
Growing Guide
Currently, we only have growing guides for our edible plants.  We are working on them for our ornamental & landscaping plants, and will add them in the near future. Contact us if you have questions on how to plant and nurture your Grasses, and we will be glad to have one of our gardeners assist you.
Ornamental & Landscaping Plants at Just Fruits & Exotics
Although Just Fruits and Exotics has been providing ornamental and landscaping plants to customers at our nursery since we added “Exotics” to our name in the 1990’s, we never had them available to our customers online.
However, September of 2018, with the launch of our updated Just Fruits and Exotics website, we added many of our ornamental and landscaping plants to our online store for our customers nationwide.  We encourage you to “Fruitscape†your yards, mixing edibles and ornamentals to make your own edible garden.
Shipping Restrictions

Additionally, citrus trees can only be shipped within the state of Florida.
Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
