Pennisetum Alopecuroides Viridescens, commonly known as Green Chinese Fountain Grass, is a popular ornamental grass. Its dense foliage is clump forming, featuring arching green leaves which turn golden in autumn. Green flower spikes tinged purple arrive in summer and last into autumn, resembling fluffy-tails. The long lasting flowers and arching leaves provide masses of colour, texture and movement. The blooms make an excellent addition to a fresh or dried flower arrangement. Try planting this Fountain Grass in a bed or border alongside early flowering perennials or on mass as an accent plant in your garden or a large container.
