Van Zyverden Multicolor Ornamental Grass Giant Fountain Bulbs 1 Count

Our national attention is turning to climate change. All the data say it's crunch time, and that plants are essential for building communities that can withstand these changes. A 2016 report from the EPA explored ways green infrastructure can improve community resiliency. Experts and stakeholders outlined strategies to help communities prepare for and mitigate the effects of climate change. Strategies included managing flood risk, reducing urban heat island effects, and decreasing the energy needed to manage water. Ornamental grasses and sedges can be part of the answer in all the case studies cited in the EPA report. Grasses and sedges anchor the plantings that help clean our water, reduce flooding, and lessen the effects of rising temperatures. Let's work towards a better environment. Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Foxtrot’ is a long-time favorite in the nursery world. It is one of the largest- and strongest-growing fountain grasses. Giant Fountain Grass is an impressive ornamental grass with its four-foot fountain shape of narrow, green foliage. In midsummer, stalks topped with four-inch, pink-tinted bottlebrush seedheads appear. The slightest breeze causes elegant movement, much like the dance for which Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Foxtrot’ is named. Use as a specimen or plant in groups for a stunning show. This is one of several patent-free plants that Kurt Bluemel has selected and introduced to the market. It was formerly called P. alopecuroides ‘Japonicum’.
