Pennisetum alopecuroides (Fountain Grass)
Color Name: Puppy Love
Enjoy multiple seasons of interest with Pennisetum Puppy Love in your landscape. Standing 30-36 inches tall and wide, the bright green foliage forms an arching and mounding habit. In late summer, the extra large, dark plumes emerge along with the darkening of the foliage for added interest. Enjoy the beauty of Puppy Love as it sways in the breeze. Puppy Love makes a fabulous focal point.
Growing Tips: Pennisetum prefers to be grown in rich loamy soil with good drainage and full sun or light shade. However, it will grow in rocky or sandy soil as long as it remains fairly moist. This grass resents having "wet feet".
