A tall palm with bold fan-shaped leaves and a straight solitary trunk. The large, glossy green, evergreen fronds are divided into up to 70 long, dangling, lance-shaped segments, that radiate like the spokes of an umbrella.

Purple fountain grass is an attractive warm-season perennial or tender perennial that makes a great addition to sunny borders.
