Fountain Grass (Pennisetum)

Pennisetum, commonly known as fountain grass, is a genus of versatile ornamental grasses prized for their graceful, arching growth habit. These clump-forming perennials feature narrow, linear foliage that creates a soft, textural effect in landscapes. During late summer, they produce distinctive, fuzzy flower spikes resembling bottlebrushes. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, offering excellent drought tolerance. Ideal for borders or mass plantings, they add movement and visual interest to any garden setting while requiring minimal maintenance throughout the growing season.
