Description:
Pennisetum orientale ‘Karley Rose’ has great dusty rose flowers for most of the summer that shimmer in the bright light of the season as they lighten to silver.

While a single plant is always beautiful a grouping or mass planting of multiple plants can be stunning as it enhances the perception of pink in the flower plumes.
