About This Product

Fountain grass is celebrated for its fountain-like habit of arching, fine-textured foliage that turns golden in autumn. The late-summer flower spikes persist well into winter, providing excellent architectural interest. It is perfectly suited for use in borders, mass plantings, or as a softening element for patios.
