Pennisetum alopecuroides (Chinese Pennisetum, dwarf fountain grass, foxtail fountain grass, swamp foxtail grass) is a species of perennial grass native to Asia and Australia. Culms are erect, and 60–100 cm long; leaf-blades are erect or drooping; flat, or conduplicate, or involute; and from 10–45 cm long by 3–6 mm wide. Pennisetum alopecuroides is known as an ornamental grass often used for its radiating, fine-textured effect in the landscape, especially beautiful when the late Summer breezes sway its bottlebrush-like inflorescences, but not noted for its Winter appeal due to seed head shattering. Dwarf fountain grass is one of those plants that maintains a distinct yet subtle presence wherever it’s used. Foliage emerges fairly early for an ornamental grass but does not significantly expand until consistently warm weather hits. Medium-green foliage turns shades of yellow, chartreuse and amber in late summer before frost; after frosts and freezes, it matures to light tan.
