Pennisetum setaceum, or Fountain Grass, is best known for the soft, fuzzy flower plumes commonly used in fresh and dried flower arrangements. The foliage of many of these eye-catching grasses is available in an array of beautiful burgundy, purple, and variegated colours. Fountain Grass is stunning when planted in large clumps, in rockeries and borders. Cut back top dead growth from late winter to early spring, and protect from frost with a dry mulch in winter.
