FAQS for Buying Fountain Grass Online
What makes Fountain Grass a good choice for landscapes?
What makes Fountain Grass a good choice for landscapes?
Fountain Grass (Pennisetum) is beloved for its elegant, arching form and playful, bottlebrush-like plumes that sway with the breeze. This easy-to-grow ornamental grass brings dynamic motion, texture, and year-round interest to borders, containers, mass plantings, and naturalistic designs. With varieties offering everything from green to purple foliage, and tan to pink blooms, Fountain Grass adds instant sophistication and easygoing beauty to any sunny spot.
Does Fountain Grass spread or become invasive?
Does Fountain Grass spread or become invasive?
Some types of Fountain Grass can spread by seed, but Nature Hills’ Plant Sentry™ system ensures you only receive non-invasive selections appropriate for your region. Most Fountain Grasses form neat clumps and stay right where you plant them, offering a tidy, manageable option for gardeners who want striking style without the worry of aggressive spreading.
Where is the best place to plant Fountain Grass?
Where is the best place to plant Fountain Grass?
Fountain Grass thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It’s a superstar in hot, sunny areas where heat, humidity, and drought might challenge other plants. Whether spilling gracefully from containers, lining sunny walkways, or adding soft texture to mixed beds, this adaptable warm-season grass is sure to shine. It even handles partial shade but will flower less without that glorious full sun exposure.
Do you cut back Fountain Grass in the fall or spring?
Do you cut back Fountain Grass in the fall or spring?
Leave those gorgeous plumes standing tall through fall and winter for extra landscape drama, then cut back your Fountain Grass to about 4–6 inches tall in early spring before new growth appears. Cutting it back too early could rob your landscape of valuable winter interest and protection for the crown, so let it dance through the snow before giving it a spring trim.
Is Fountain Grass drought tolerant?
Is Fountain Grass drought tolerant?
Absolutely! Once established, Fountain Grass is wonderfully drought tolerant, making it a fantastic choice for xeriscaping, low-water landscapes, and easygoing gardens. Water young plants deeply during their first growing season to help roots settle in, then enjoy years of vibrant, low-maintenance beauty with minimal water needs.
