Pennisetum setaceum 

Pennisetum setaceum, also known as Fountain Grass, is an ornamental grass admired for its feathery, cascading flower spikes and graceful form. Its arching, slender leaves form dense clumps, topped with soft, brush-like flower heads that sway with the slightest breeze, bringing a sense of movement and tranquility to landscapes. Native to North Africa and the Middle East, this drought-tolerant plant is well-suited for xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens.

The foliage of Pennisetum setaceum is vibrant green, complementing the pinkish-purple flower spikes that appear in summer. The plant is highly valued for its ability to add texture and structure to outdoor spaces, whether used in borders, as an accent, or in mass plantings. Due to its adaptability and robust nature, Fountain Grass is perfect for regions with dry, sunny conditions, where it can thrive with minimal care.
