Switchgrass ‘Fontaine‘
Attractive ornamental grass whose seed heads open up in a fountain-like form. Short and fast growing. The continually developing ears change colour from green to red. Mature seed heads should be removed to allow new ones to develop. Lasts very well in the vase. Ideal for cut flower growers.
