Fountain grass is a splendid choice for adding soft texture to the landscape.The dense clump of gracefully arching foliage produces an abundance of showy flower plumes in late summer. A fast-grower and carefree in almost any situation with well-drained soil. The flower heads make interesting additions to cut flower arrangements and can be dried for use in crafts. Grow fountain grasses as a hedge, back of a border plant or specimen.
