Pennisetum / Fountain Grasses

Among the most beautiful and graceful ornamental grasses, Pennisetum (Fountain Grass) enjoys showy, feathery, flower spikes atop linear leaves over a long blooming season which extends into fall. Rustling in the wind and animating your plantings, whether in containers, mixed herbaceous borders or rock gardens, these full sun annual or perennial grasses are easy to grow and available in many forms (upright habit or arching), sizes (from dwarf ornamental grass to tall ornamental grass) and even colors (green or purple foliage, cream or rose seed heads).
