Fountain Grass / Pennisetum

Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Burgundy Bunny'
From Bluestone Perennials in spring 2021


Expectations:
I put this in the center of the kitchen courtyard for something with a different form and with some movement to break up all the stiff clumps of veronicas and other things nearby. 

It's a dwarf fountain grass, and should be very tidy. Love the deep red late in the season. It's a warm season grass, slow to wake up.


Experiences:
Slow to get going. Oof, nothing happening after 3 years. Dug it up and moved it to the outer ring around the birdbath n 2023.
