White Fountain Grass | Large Gallon Size Plants | Pennisetum Alopecuroides

Dependable grass with beauty and versatility. Produces a clump of narrow, half-inch shiny green leaves that fade to golden yellow in fall. Valued for its flower spikes that are popular cut flowers. Showy single specimen or lined up for edging. Herbaceous. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. For a neat appearance, remove old foliage before new leaves emerge. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring. This fast-growing perennial grass has fox-tail like flowers beginning in summer lasting through fall. Its clumping growth habit creates beautiful glossy green blades with ivory, white flowers. It grows up to 2-3 feet tall. Ideally used as mass planting, specimen, and accent plant. This low-maintenance, perennial needs a regular water schedule to ensure the growth of a mature root system. The first year of growth requires watering weekly. After the mature root system is established, watering is needed occasionally, except during a drought, watering is needed regularly. Pruning is not required. This grass is actually a green grass but produces small plumes that are white, all summer long. Useful for accent or clustered together around trees or palms. Dies back in winter- trim back in spring-recovers nicely.
