Description
These ornamental grasses are Deciduous: Cut back stems close to ground level from late February through to the end of March. Cut stems can be left on border as natural mulch or composted.
Pennisetum villosum is probably the least robust fountain grass that we can grow outside in the UK climate, however it will come easily from seed saved the previous summer.
