fountain grass

Overview

Fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Sky Rocket') is a showy, ornamental grass with an upright habit and long, cascading leaves. Its deep green foliage grows in neat clumps and produces dramatic, fluffy flower heads. It is the perfect feature for container gardening or adding texture to a garden bed. Although it prefers full sun, partial shade is tolerated. It blooms in mid-summer and is drought tolerant once established. This low-maintenance species is a great choice for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.
