Grass - Redhead Fountain Grass
'Red Head' looks great in late-season containers. This plant has no serious insect or disease problems and is not usually appealing to deer. In late fall or early spring cut the foliage back almost to the ground before growth starts in spring. Use this plant in containers, in sunny borders, meadows, rock gardens, and foundation plantings. The Ornamental Fountain Grass 'Redhead Fountain Grass', 'Pennisetum 'Redhead', produces very soft plumes that are smoky rose in color, all season long. 'Red Head’ begins to show its enormous bottlebrush plumes in mid to late summer. In the fall the leaves turn gold in color. The deep purple buds mature to smoky purple plumes. The bushy plumes are great as cut flowers if they are cut soon after they emerge. ... more information
Grass - Golden Toupee Fescue A superb choice for a showy border planting or rock garden, the tight clumps of bright yellow foliage also complement conifers and other evergreens and also work well in containers. The Grass 'Golden Toupee Fescue', Festuca ovina glauca 'Golden Toupee', is a beautiful tufted ornamental grass. This blue fescue cultivar is a slowly spreading, ornamental grass which typically forms a dense, tufted clump (8" tall by 12" wide) of thin, gracefully arching, sharply pointed, hair-like grass blades which are bright chartreuse as opposed to the usual blue-gray of the species. Somewhat insignificant, pale green flowers first appear in flattened, terminal panicles above the foliage on erect, slender stems in early summer, maturing to a straw color by mid-summer Pest and disease free. |
