Pennisetum setaceum ‘Sky Rocket’ is a tender perennial ornamental fountain grass shrub. It is a rapidly-growing, clump forming variety that is native to Africa, it produces arching, narrow green leaves with white stripes that grow to 1m tall and in late summer will produce spikes of small pale pink flower heads that last throughout spring and summer. In winter, once the grass has turned brown, it can be cut back right down to the ground to encourage growth for the following year. This plant will do well in most types of soil so long as it is well-drained, it is extremely hardy and can survive temperatures of as low as -15 degrees.
