Description
Pennisetum orientale (Oriental Fountain Grass)
Pennisetum orientale, or Oriental Fountain Grass, is a graceful ornamental grass with soft, arching foliage and delicate, fluffy flower spikes in shades of pale pink to white. Flowering from early summer into autumn, the feathery plumes rise above the foliage and sway beautifully in the breeze, adding movement and texture to the garden. This clump-forming perennial is hardy, drought tolerant, and low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for modern landscapes and mixed plantings.
