Ornamental Grass

Rubrum Pennisetum ornamental grass

18 years ago

Hi everyone,

Love to have this variety or o. grass in my garden and buy it annually as it does not survive the winter.

I am wondering if anyone in zone 6b or 7a,b, has ever overwintered this plant in a garage or shed to return it to the garden again the next year? I do this with the chenille plant, lantanas, ivy geraniums, cannas, elephant ear, dahlias, calla lilies, etc.
