Common name fountain grass Family poaceae Life cycle perennial (Z5-7) Flowers dusty rose (summer) Size 3' Light sun-part shade Cultural notes heat-tolerant Seed ripens early October The main attraction of this grass is the fuzzy-pinkness of its flowers in early summer. A few years into its tenure in our garden, this is shaping up to be a worthy addition to our repertoire of ornamental grasses. Its blooms start in mid-June, and reach their full effectiveness about a month later.
