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.

yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
