Etouffee Hardy Fountain Grass (Pennisetum Alopecuroides) – 1 Gallon Pot

The largest growing and most impressive hardy Fountain Grass we’ve ever grown in our gardens, Pennisetum ‘Etouffee’ is another of the sterile hybrids developed by the University of Georgia breeding program, which means it won’t spread by seeds! From mid summer to mid fall, which is later flowering than other fountain grasses, loads of pretty, 8″foxtail plumes rise above 5′ tall by 6′ wide clumps of slender, gracefully arching bright green blades. The plumes emerge a creamy-tan color fading to lavender-bronze and are excellent for fresh or dried cut flower arrangements. The foliage turns to golden-yellow in fall. Superior cold and heat hardiness means gardeners in Zones 5a north to 9b south can enjoy this stunning beauty!
