Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Moudry'

Fountain Grass

Graceful ornamental clumps of rather wide, dark green, glossy leaves produce striking purple-black foxtails. Flower plumes can be used in floral arrangements or left in the garden for unusual winter interest. Great accent for pools or ponds.

Pennisetum (pen-i-see'-tum)

Family: Poaceae · Common Name: Fountain Grass

This genus offers a nice selection of fountain grasses of various sizes and foliage and plume colors. The fuzzy foxtail plumes grace the arching stems in the early summer through the winter garden. Excellent for containers, borders and en mass plantings.
