Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘White Fountain’

🌿 Plant Story & Meaning

There’s a gentleness to White Fountain Grass that feels right at home in a Southern garden. With its soft, arching form and creamy-white plumes that catch the light just so, it brings a sense of peace and movement—like a quiet breeze through an open field at golden hour.

It’s the kind of plant that softens a space… and makes everything around it feel a little more complete.

✨ Beauty & Seasonal Interest

• Graceful green arching foliage
• Elegant fluffy white plumes that bloom late summer into fall
• Adds motion, texture, and softness to any landscape
• Beautiful golden tones as the season transitions into autumn

Matures to approximately 2–3 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for layering in beds or anchoring container designs.

🌞 Care Instructions

• Light: Full sun to light shade (best blooms in full sun)
• Water: Moderate; drought-tolerant once established
• Soil: Prefers well-drained soil
• Maintenance: Cut back in late winter before new growth emerges

A wonderful low-maintenance perennial grass that thrives in the Georgia heat and humidity.

🌸 Perfect Companions

White Fountain pairs beautifully with:

• Drift Roses or Knockouts for a classic cottage feel
• Lavender or Salvia for a soft, romantic palette
• Boxwoods or Inkberry Holly for structure and contrast
