Grass - Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Moudry Black Fountain Grass' (1 Gallon)

This cultivar freely self-seeds and can become invasive. Cutting off the flower stalks before the seed is produced is recommended. Grows best in a moist, well-drained soil, in full sun to light shade. If planted in too much shade this grass will not flourish and may not flower. Foliage should be cut back to about 10 cm in early spring to allow for new growth. 

These grasses are much slower starting in the spring. They do not push new growth until temperatures warm in early to midsummer. They flower later in the summer or fall with most blooms remaining into the winter. Most warm season grasses tolerate heat, humidity and drought; some even thrive in these conditions.
