Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Foxtrot' (Foxtrot Fountain Grass) is a striking, large ornamental grass that adds texture and movement to your garden. Known for its graceful form, it forms a dense clump of narrow green blades that transition to golden-yellow in the fall. In mid to late summer, pink-tinted flower spikes emerge, gradually turning to white-tipped plumes as the season progresses.
This long-lived perennial grows well in full sun to mostly sunny spots, thriving in well-drained soil and performing best in hot locations with adequate moisture. It blooms from early summer to early fall, creating a stunning visual display throughout the growing season.
Foxtrot Fountain Grass is easy to maintain—simply cut back to 15 cm above ground level in early spring before new growth appears. The leaf blades can be left standing through the winter for seasonal interest.
Perfect for accent planting or group displays, the feathery plumes also make excellent dried arrangements. Add Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Foxtrot' to your garden for a vibrant, low-maintenance plant that offers year-round beauty and movement!
