Re: Please identify.
Looks like Purple Flax to me. Do a google image search. I used to grow it in my front yard. Actually we had that and purple fountain grass, now we just have green flax.

Re: Please identify.
I think it looks like fountain grass. If it is, it's not hardy below 20 degrees.

As I mentioned to you privately Raymond, I bought mine as "giant purple fountain grass" at our botanical gardens plant sale. I checked with a friend there who brought it back from Charleston, SC, and she said they tag actually said Pennisetum 'princess'. There is also a large form called 'prince'. I'd be willing to bet it is the same thing as Brad's with a different name. How did we end up with 2 threads asking about the same thing? Russell Last edited by coast crab : 09-03-2009 at 10:19 AM. |
