Pennisetum alopecuroïdes Moudry - Chinese Fountain Grass

The Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Moudry', also known as feathertop grass, forms spikes of feathery flowers with dark brown reflections in late summer.

This large non-invasive grass forms a very compact stump from which large deciduous leaves of a tender green colour emerge, giving a bushy appearance. In late summer, Pennisetum Moudry produces magnificent dark flowers, in black-brown spikes with silvery grey reflections that bloom until autumn and once dried, provide a splendid decoration throughout winter.

Easy to grow, Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Moudry' thrives in sunny locations and light, well-draining, moderately moist soil. It looks stunning in a wild garden, combined with yarrow, gaura, and eupatorium, or in a more modern style, this grass can be combined with Allium sphaerocephalon, Persicaria amplexicaulis, or hydrangea Annabelle.
