How to Sow and Plant

Prepare a well-drained seedbed and remove weeds.

Scatter seeds evenly on the soil surface — do not bury deeply. Ornamental grass seeds often need light for germination.

Press seeds gently into the soil to ensure good soil contact.

Keep soil evenly moist until germination begins.

How to Grow

Plant in full sun for best plume and foliage display.

Once established, White Fountain Grass is low-maintenance and tolerates moderate drought.

Provide regular water during establishment, then water sparingly.

In colder climates, mulch in winter to protect roots (if not winter hardy).

Tips

Mix seeds with fine sand for even broadcast sowing.

Space plants to allow full plumes to develop without crowding.

Combine with other ornamental grasses for texture and seasonal interest.

Deadhead old plumes late in season to keep appearance tidy.

Perennial grass

White Fountain Grass (Pennisetum villosum) is an ornamental perennial grass prized for its fine texture, arching blades, and soft, creamy-white plumes that sway with the breeze. It adds elegance and movement to mixed borders, grass gardens, patio containers, and ornamental landscapes. Grow from seed in sunny, well-drained soil; the airy plumes create a soft, fountain-like effect that enhances garden design and visual interest.
