fountain grass

This grass family produces compact, dense, mounded varieties that are popular, reliable garden plants with easily recognizable cat-tail or bottle brush like blooms over fine textured, arching foliage. They are perfect for sunny containers, small spaces and in the front or middle border of the landscape planted in groups or as a specimen. Look for ‘Hameln’ and ‘Little Bunny’.

Plant in sunny, well-drained to moist, nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water, once a week the first year. Use Plant-tone and Iron-tone in spring or at planting; apply Osmocote in summer. Cut back as low as possible late winter/early spring. Mulch 1-2” to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide in spring or fall when necessary.
