Fountain Grass (Pennisetum Alopecuroides) Is one of the most popular ornamental grasses. Fountain Grass seeds are easy to grow, and this variety produces a 32-inch tall mound of narrow green foliage. In the late summer bottle, brush-like plumes of pale brown appear.
A mass grouping of these ornamental grasses is very striking. The plumes of Pennisetum alopecuroides Fountain Grass make excellent cut flowers and can be preserved.

I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
