White Fountain Grass
Pennisetum alopecuroides - Dependable grass with beauty and versatility. Produces a clump of narrow, half-inch shiny green leaves that fade to golden yellow in fall. Valued for its flower spikes which are popular cut flowers.
White Fountain Grass grows in a dense but graceful clump 12-60″ tall, depending on the growth factors. It grows upright at first; then, the leaves arch at maturity into the easily identifiable fountain pattern.
The length and width of the long, tapering, subtly serrated blades vary greatly among plants. The leaves turn orange-bronze in autumn, eventually fading to a dull beige.
