Soft bottlebrush-like plumes of fountain grass in warm backlightGramíneas ornamentales

Fountain grass is an elegant ornamental grass that produces soft, bottlebrush-like plumes from August to October. The grass forms a dense, mound-shaped tussock and looks its best when backlit, with sunlight filtering through the feathery plumes. The flower heads and foliage turn warm golden-brown in autumn.

Guía de cuidados

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Once established, this grass is remarkably drought-tolerant and needs little watering. Avoid overly rich soil — lean conditions keep the plant more compact. Leave the plumes and foliage standing through winter for structural interest and to protect the crown.

Consejos de poda

Cut the entire grass back to a hand's width above ground level in February or early March, before the new shoots appear. Do not prune in autumn — the old foliage insulates the plant against frost and the plumes remain decorative until spring.
