Pennisetum alopecuroides

Pennisetum alopecuroides, or fountain grass, features graceful green foliage and soft, fluffy flower spikes that turn purplish in late summer to fall. It’s non-toxic and safe for children and pets. Easy to care for, drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance, it suits beginners well. Best placed in sunny balconies, garden borders, or patios for visual interest and texture. Not suitable for indoor spaces due to its size and light needs. Grows moderately fast and requires minimal pruning. Not edible and doesn’t noticeably purify air, but adds aesthetic value with seasonal color and movement.
