- Aura - (1)

Extremely drought tolerant, the Feathertop grass (Pennisetum villosum) is among the most beautiful and graceful ornamental grasses. It has large, fluffy and bright white flowers whick look like plumes cascading down, and the light green foliage that rustles in the wind.

 

This plant typically grows in 2 feet tall (60 cm), from mid-summer until fall, spreading narrow green foliage topped with furry white bottlebrush-like flowers on arching stems.

 

Welcomed in any garden style, it is versatile and can be used in groups or in masse. It's ideal in borders where it provides texture, color and contrast, but can be planted also in containers. Since it can grow in almost pure sand, planting near the beach is a possibility.
