Set of 3 Lampe poinsettia grasses - Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Viridescens' - Height 40cm - 2 litre pot

This set of 3 Lampepoets grasses is a beautiful ornamental grass with narrow leaves that are dark green in colour with a light purple tinge. The plants grow up to 40 cm tall and bloom from late summer with light pink to purplish-pink flower spikes that can remain on the plant until deep into winter, discolouring to silver-grey.
