Fountain Grasses

Fountain Grasses are beautiful warm season landscape plants that produce a fountain of flowers emerging from cascading foliage.

Characteristics Include:

  • Grow in graceful, yet dense clumps, perfect for perennial gardens and landscape borders
  • Slender, grass-like foliage in shades of green or purple
  • Showy seed heads in summer to fall
  • Full sun to light shade, average soil
  • Tolerant of heat and humidity
  • Bloom June through October

Leave the plants to stand tall all winter to improve their hardiness. Wait until March or April to prune back last year’s growth, down to 2 - 4 inches.
