Pennisetum alopecuroides

Fountain Grass adds movement and texture with low-maintenance elegance

Pennisetum alopecuroides, commonly known as Fountain Grass, is a versatile ornamental grass prized for its soft, arching green foliage and showy bottlebrush-like flower spikes from late summer through autumn. Perfect for modern landscapes, mass plantings, and borders, it delivers movement, texture, and seasonal interest. Drought-tolerant once established and low-maintenance, it thrives in Australian conditions and works beautifully in coastal, urban, and garden settings. A reliable choice for adding softness and contrast to structured planting schemes.
