Praline™ Fountain Grass

Praline™ is a compact, warm-season fountain grass with an arching green mound and soft tan-to-caramel plumes. Its flower heads rise in late summer and continue into autumn, while the foliage turns golden-bronze and copper as the season advances. This sterile selection suits small borders, containers, and mass plantings where a tidy form is useful. [WorryFree Plants](https://worryfreeplants.com/our-plants/praline-fountain-grass/) identifies the selection as ‘TiftH18’ PP 30,724 and lists it at 1.5 feet tall by 2 feet wide. [SiteOne’s cultivar sheet](https://www.siteone.com/medias/sys_master/PimProductImages/assets/ProductAssets/US/Portfolio/specificationSheet/praline-fountain-grass-portfolio-product-sheet/praline-fountain-grass-portfolio-product-sheet.pdf) gives a broader mature size of 18–24 inches high by 30–42 inches wide, so leave room for spread. ## Garden Use Place it in full sun near a path, at the front of a border, or in a roomy container where the soft plumes remain visible. Its winter foliage and seed heads add texture after the growing season. ## Growing Conditions Use well-drained soil and water regularly while the plant establishes. WorryFree Plants reports that established plants tolerate drought and heat and resist deer and rabbits. The cultivar sheet also identifies it as sterile and noninvasive. ## Seasonal Care The foliage is a warm-season grass and begins growth after temperatures rise. Allow the seed heads to remain for seasonal texture, then cut back old growth before new shoots appear. ## Maintenance Cut the clump back in late winter or early spring before new growth; water regularly during establishment, then keep the soil on the drier side.
