Pennisetum Alopecuroides- ‘Fountain Grass’

Pennisetum alopecuroides, commonly known as Fountain Grass, is a graceful ornamental grass prized for its arching green foliage and soft, bottlebrush-like plumes that appear in late summer. Growing 2 to 4 feet tall, it forms a tidy, mounded shape that brings movement and texture to garden beds, borders, and mass plantings. In fall, the foliage turns golden-bronze, adding seasonal interest. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, Fountain Grass is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low-maintenance—an ideal choice for both formal landscapes and naturalized settings.
