Read detailed description :

Graceful flowering on long dark brown, pink tinted, cobs, well separated from the large and dense leaves that stay green until winter. Appreciates a hot summer but not too dry. The large, shiny dark green leaves will turn a golden-yellow in autumn. Excellent for ground cover in borders and flowerbeds. Pennisetum means 'Silk Feather' in Latin. Will self seed in a cool to moist soil.
