Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Moudry’

Fountain Grass is one of the most popular grasses. This selection forms an upright clump of arching green leaves, bearing bottlebrush spikes of dark purple-black flowers that turn silvery as they dry. Most effective when mass planted, but also useful as a specimen accent in the garden or in containers. Flowers are excellent for cutting, fresh or dried. Plants usually remain attractive well into the winter, the leaves turning bright golden-yellow in the fall. Remove flower heads in late fall to prevent self seeding, especially in Zones 7 to 9. Drought tolerant once established.
