Grass Pennisetum alopecuroides 9cm Potted Plant x 3
Description
Pennisetum alopecuroides is a highly decorative ornamental grass, also known as Chinese Fountain Grass. This variety almost provides year round interest which is extended by flower heads that appear in the summer months. It is a low-maintenance plant, which quickly forms a clump, so is ideal for filling gaps in perennial and shrub borders. The grassy foliage is neat, but stays quite inconspicuous until the flower heads appear during late summer. But, once they appear, they really dazzle, with spikelet's looking much like a squirrel's tail! Leave the decorative seedheads on your Fountain Grass plants into the autumn. Plant in fertile, light, well drained garden soil and position in full sun. Take care not to overwater as plants may rot in over wet soils. Although plants are hardy, they will benefit from the added protection of a dry mulch of bark or straw to protect the crown of the plant over the winter. Once you have enjoyed the autumn and winter interest of this plant, you should cut back any dead foliage and faded flowers in the spring. Position: Full Sun. Height: Up to 150cm. Spread: Up to 120cm.
