{"title":"Pennisetum Fountain Grass","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"47\" data-end=\"1246\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003ePennisetum is a popular ornamental grass valued for its graceful arching foliage, soft flower plumes, and ability to add movement, texture, and seasonal interest to garden designs. Pennisetum fountain grass works especially well in borders, mass plantings, mixed beds, contemporary landscapes, and commercial installations where a strong yet natural-looking accent is desired. Depending on the variety, Pennisetum plants may offer green, burgundy, or purple foliage along with feathery flower spikes that create visual interest from summer into fall. Popular selections may include Pennisetum alopecuroides, Pennisetum rubrum, and compact cultivars such as Pennisetum ‘Hameln’ or ‘Little Bunny’. Their clumping habit makes these ornamental grasses useful for creating repetition, softening hardscape edges, and adding contrast beside perennials, shrubs, and flowering plants. For Canadian landscapes, variety selection is especially important because cold hardiness differs between cultivars. Whether you are looking for fountain grass for a residential garden or ornamental grasses for a larger landscaping project, explore our Pennisetum selection and choose the variety that best fits your space.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"w-h-perron-pennisetum-glaucum-hyb-jade-princess","title":"Ornamental Millet Jade Princess F1 - Pennisetum glaucum","description":"\u003ch3\u003eOrnamental millet Jade Princess F1 ( \u003cem\u003ePennisetum glaucum\u003c\/em\u003e ), offered by the seed company WH Perron\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Jade Princess F1 ornamental millet features vibrant chartreuse green foliage that adds a bright touch to your beds and containers.
