Pennisetum messiacum Red Buttons, or Red Buttons Fountain Grass, is a compact, clump-forming ornamental grass prized for its distinctive deep red, button-like flower heads that resemble fluffy bunny tails. Rising above fine, arching green foliage, the soft cylindrical blooms create a striking colour contrast and an elegant, fountain-like effect. Deciduous and low maintenance, this neat, well-behaved grass is ideal for garden borders, mass plantings and containers, adding texture and seasonal interest. Flowering from late summer through autumn, it also attracts bees and butterflies, making it a beautiful and wildlife-friendly choice for contemporary and cottage-style gardens alike.
