Genus Notes -

Pennisetum

Pennisetum are favorites and prized for their arching multitude of bottle-brush seed plumes over tidy cascading foliage. Showy and easy to grow; they are lovely alone, in groups and in containers. The slightest breeze produces movement. Great for drying. Good for hot dry spots. Newer varieties like Etouffee, Cayenne, Hush Puppy, and Praline are bred to be infertile, which means they do not self-sow their seed.
