Pennisetum alop. 'Cassian' No. 2
Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Cassian' No. 2, commonly known as fountain grass, is a captivating ornamental grass characterized by its slender, arching leaves and delicate flower plumes that emerge in late summer. This cultivar reaches a moderate height of approximately 2 to 3 feet, making it suitable for borders, mass plantings, or container gardening. The soft, feathery flower spikes, which start off a rich green and transition to shades of tan throughout the fall, provide visual interest and texture in various landscapes.
