Notes

'Red Riding Hood' oriental fountain grass (Cenchrus orientalis 'Red Riding Hood') is a grass for annual beds. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Rosy pink to burgundy blooms appear in mid to late summer and again in early to mid autumn.

Pairs well with Gerbera daisy, Begonia, and Angel's trumpet.
