& Pennisetum Alopecuroides 1.5 Litre Potted Plant x 2

A highly decorative ornamental grass, also known Fountain Grass, Thompson & Morgan Pennisetum Alopecuroides is a plant which gives year round interest in the garden. It is a low maintenance plant, which quickly forms a clump, so is ideal for filling gaps in perennial and shrub borders. The grassy foliage is neat, but stays quite inconspicuous until the flower heads appear during late summer. But once they appear, they really dazzle, with spikelets looking much like a squirrel’s tail! Leave the decorative seed heads on your Fountain Grass plants into the autumn to add architectural interest. Plant Thompson & Morgan Fountain Grass into garden borders in any fertile, light, well-drained garden soil in full sun. Take care not to overwater as Pennisetum plants may rot in over-wet soils. Although plants are hardy, they will benefit from the added protection of bark or straw to protect the crown of the plant over the winter. Once you have enjoyed the autumn and winter interest of this plant, you should but back any dead foliage and faded flowers in the spring.
