Pennisetum alopecioides 'Viridescens' (Black Fountain Grass)

Pennisetum alopecioides 'Viridescens', commonly known as Black Fountain Grass, is an ornamental grass that adds a dramatic touch to any garden or landscape. The foliage of this grass is dark black, creating a striking contrast in color. It forms dense clumps of upright, arching leaves, and in late summer, it produces feathery, purple-black flower spikes that gracefully cascade above the foliage. This grass is a popular choice for border plantings, container gardens, or as a focal point in a mixed perennial bed.
