| Botanical Name | Pennisetum setaceum 'Fireworks' |
| Description | A show-stopping variegated fountain grass featuring vibrant streaks of white, green, pink, and burgundy. While it thrives in the intense Houston heat, 'Fireworks' requires well-draining soil to succeed. In areas of the metro with heavy clay, we highly recommend planting in raised beds or containers, as it will not tolerate sitting in stagnant water during our humid, rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 24-36 inches Tall x 24-36 inches Wide |
| Water | Moderate; drought tolerant once established but requires excellent drainage. |
| Zones | 9-11 (Commonly treated as a summer annual in the Houston area). |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Cut back to 3-5 inches above the ground in late winter if it survives the season. |
| Deer Resistance | Yes |
