Chinese Fountain Grass | Pennisetum alopecuroides
- Delivering wonderful tactile interest, Pennisetum alopecuroides produces soft, brush-like flower heads that perfectly resemble fuzzy caterpillars. These persist beautifully into the autumn months.
- It offers a spectacular seasonal foliage transformation, with the lush, arching leaves turning a brilliant golden-yellow as temperatures drop, ensuring your garden remains interesting throughout the seasons.
- Featuring a graceful, cascading form, it is an exceptional choice for adding movement to a sunny, well-drained border alongside other flowering perennials.
- Reaching around one metre in height, it looks truly magnificent when mass-planted in prairie-style schemes, modern courtyard designs, or gravel gardens.
- It is a wonderfully low-maintenance and relatively drought-tolerant perennial once fully established. Simply plant it in a sunny spot and cut back the old foliage in spring to make way for the new growth.
- Beyond its visual appeal, it provides winter structure and valuable seeds for birds. The airy plumes catch morning frost beautifully and sway in the wind, adding a lovely sensory element to your space.
