Pennisetum – Lemon Squeeze Fountain Grass
SKU: n/a.Lemon Squeeze Fountain Grass, Pennisetum, adds a brilliant element to landscapes and gardens with its many vibrant yellow leaf blades and thick, copper bottle brush plumes in summer. Its stunning flowers are held high above its graceful, arching fountain of glossy foliage. The bright foliage always looks beautiful and adds architectural interest. It is excellent mixed in a perennial garden to add contrasting texture to large-leafed plants or planted in mass as a low hedge. It is fantastic in containers.
Lemon Squeeze Fountain Grass matures into a stately landscape plant 3-3.5′ tall and 4-4.5′ wide. A vigorous selection. Once established, it thrives in hot sun and is drought tolerant. The best color is produced in full sun. A member of the Prairie Winds Ornamental Grass Collection, known for their graceful texture and movement in the garden, and good deer and rabbit resistance.
Plant in full sun. For best blooming, keep well watered, especially when budding and in bloom. Easy to grow. Cut back in late winter.
