Pennisetum 'Tall Tails'

Attractive long flowering ornamental grass which flowers in summer with miscanthus, sedums, agastache, and echinacea. Very easy and well behaved in clay however in light sandy soils may be overly vigorous and only suit the large garden. We have found only occasional seedlings, but as with all grasses, deadhead if seeding occurs. Useful for foreground in front of taller grasses in grouped plantings amongst other perennials.
