There is a fountain grass for everyone, from dwarf ornamental grass lovers (20\") to those looking for a tall ornamental grass (10'), upright habit or arching, tan or rose seed heads, and green or purple foliage. We offer a wide range of new, exciting non-seeding pennisetum grass selections that will provide a whole new dimension to using ornamental grasses in the garden. Their tuft-like fountains of narrow foliage in addition to their stunning plumage make nice airy statements in the garden. Some of our favorites are \u003cem\u003eP. alopecuroides\u003c\/em\u003e 'Foxtrot' and \u003cem\u003eP. alopecuroides\u003c\/em\u003e 'Lemon Squeeze' both of which we have available from time to time.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing and Caring for Pennisetum (Fountain Grass)\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePennisetum can be cut back either in fall or spring, depending on how badly the winter weather ravages the foliage. Although extremely tolerant of adverse conditions, it prefers full to part sun and average garden soils.

Pennisetum 'Foxtrot' makes a large, upright, 5' tall x 4' wide clump, topped in midsummer with 5' tall plumes that emerge blush pink and age to tan. Pennisetum 'Foxtrot' has proven to be an outstanding, long-lived and reliable performer with much more vigor than typical Pennisetum alopecuroides. After a decade in our garden, we have never found any stray seedlings. If you've suffered silently from pennisetum envy by having the smallest one in the neighborhood...suffer no longer.
