Quick Guide

  • Rose-pink plumes from summer through winter
  • Cascading dark green arching foliage
  • Full sun, well-drained soil preferred
  • Drought tolerant once established
  • Ideal for borders and gravel gardens

Oriental fountain grass 'Karley Rose' is a striking perennial prized for its hairy rose-pink flower plumes and elegant arching foliage. The flowers emerge in early summer and persist through winter, providing months of ornamental interest. Dark green linear leaves grow upright initially, then cascade gracefully as the plant matures. Plant in full sun in light, well-drained soil tolerating chalk, loam or sand. Once established, this cultivar is drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance beyond cutting back dead foliage in late fall or winter. It reaches around 60cm at rest, extending to 1 metre when in flower. Ideal for borders, gravel gardens and as cut material. Deer resistant and salt tolerant.

Plant Guide

Plant in spring in a sunny spot with light, well-drained soil tolerating chalk, loam and sand. Soil pH 6.2 to 7.5 suits it well. Water regularly in the first year to establish a deep root system. Once settled, it is drought tolerant and needs little additional watering. In late fall or winter, cut back all old foliage to 3–4 inches. Divide established clumps in spring to rejuvenate. No serious pests or diseases. In colder regions, it remains hardy to USDA zones 5–9.

Delivery Timeframes

We aim to deliver orders within 2–4 working days. During peak seasons, such as Christmas, delivery times may vary slightly due to increased demand. We will keep you informed at every stage.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Delivery Discrepancies

Please check your order as soon as it arrives. If there is any discrepancy — such as a missing, incorrect, or damaged item — please contact us within 48 hours of delivery so we can put things right. After this time, we will assume the order was received complete and in good condition. We are unable to take responsibility for damage that has occurred after this period.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
