Foxtail Pennisetum

Family: Poaceae. Native to East Asia, Australia. Fresh meadow soils. Perennial herbaceous plant. It looks attractive thanks to its long, delicate inflorescences that are appealing even in winter. In the garden it is better to use not the species but its best cultivars. Forms a broad clump 40-100 cm high.

The leaf is narrow, linear, juicy-green, turning golden-yellow in autumn. Inflorescences range from light to reddish-brown, small, gathered in dense, brush-like spikes at the tip of an erect or arching stem. Flowers in August - September. The cultivar 'Hameln' is more compact and begins flowering already in August.
