DetailOne plant suppliedThis Pennisetum mix are arching ornamental grasses with fluffy flowers that adds drama to a late summer or autumn border and can soften the edge of a path or patio. Pink, reddish-purple, pale green or white feathery flowers in spike-like panicles, appear in summer and autumn among ribbon-like, mid or dark green leaves, sometimes striped with cream or yellow or flushed purple. Deciduous types can have good autumn colour. They are also effective in large containers that restrict their spread. Great for borders and containers, Pennisetum is a lovely grass that is low maintenance and easy to grow.

Additional Information
Cut stems back to ground level in early Spring. Be aware that Pennisetum dislike wet soil and this can cause plants to rot off over winter, ideally plant in full sun to get a good flower display. Smaller varieties are great for containers. Drought tolerant once established.Colour Of Flower/Head
