Pennisetum compressum (Fountain Grass)

Pennisetum compressum, commonly known as Fountain Grass, is an arching grass that grows to a height of 1-2 feet. This ornamental grass features slender green leaves that gracefully arch downwards, giving it a fountain-like appearance. It produces fluffy, plume-like flower heads in summer that start off burgundy-red and fade to a soft tan color as they mature. Fountain Grass is a versatile plant that adds texture and movement to garden beds, borders, and containers.
