Grass, Pennisetum alopecuroides

This ornamental grass is a clump-forming perennial known for its graceful, arching habit and soft, bottlebrush-like flower spikes that emerge in late summer, ranging from creamy white to light pink. Recommended for USDA hardiness zones 5-9, it thrives in full to partial sun and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. This low-maintenance grass can tolerate varying temperatures within its zones, making it a versatile landscape choice. In the fall, its narrow green leaves transition to a stunning golden or bronze hue, adding seasonal interest. Deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, it typically grows to a height of 2-4 feet and works beautifully as an accent plant, in borders, or massed in landscapes.
