• Easy to grow from Feathertop seeds, this beautiful ornamental grass is a clump-forming, densely tufted type of fountain grass. Feathertop ornamental grass produces nodding silver panicles in great profusion from late summer through early fall. The flowers look like clouds that are floating about, catching the breeze and waving about. Pennisetum villosum Feathertop is well-suited for containers or it will beautify mixed bed and borders.
• Feathertop ornamental grass is a ready self-seeder, so grow it in an area where it can spread, or you will need to cut off the flowers before the seeds ripen in the fall. In the northern regions, Feathertop might not survive the winter, but since it self-seeds easily it should come back. The base can be covered in mulch to help the plant through the winter.
• In warmer regions it is a hardy perennial and is very drought tolerant. Ornamental grass care includes cutting the plant back in late winter or early spring.
• Season: Perennial Hardiness zones: 8 - 10 Height: 20 inches
