Large fountain grass makes a great focal point in a sunny landscape
It is easy to grow as long as full sun is provided
Many consider it to be the best hardy Pennisetum available today
Desert Plains' is a seedling of 'Cassian' discovered by Gary Trucks of Amber Wave Gardens in West Michigan. It has an improved habit, flowering performance, and fall color, over 'Cassian' and 'Hameln'.
Finely textured, narrow, green leaves form a beautiful upright vase-shaped clump. Beginning in midsummer, the tips of the foliage begin to turn deep red and the entire clump transitions to shades of orange and gold in fall
Showy 5” bottlebrush plumes held above the foliage emerge smoky purple and age to tan.
