Description
Piglet Fountain Grass is a smaller, fine-textured perennial ideal for Massachusetts gardeners looking for easy-care beauty. Mid-summer brings creamy-pink, bottlebrush-style blooms above bright green foliage that later turns golden in fall. Piglet Fountain Grass adds a charming, airy texture whether planted as an accent, massed in borders, or tucked into a rock garden. Its petite form makes it perfect for both large landscapes and small spaces.
Gardeners in Massachusetts love Piglet Fountain Grass for its lasting interest and graceful movement. The creamy plumes persist into winter, offering multi-seasonal beauty with minimal maintenance. Naturally deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, Piglet Fountain Grass is a practical and attractive option. Cut back the foliage in early spring to refresh its vibrant growth for another colorful season.
