Black Fountain Grass has striking purplish black fluffy flowers, adding both color and textural interest to the landscape. A warm season perennial grass, it is useful both as a specimen and planted in mass as a groundcover. Excellent in rock gardens and near water features. Prefers full sun and well drained soil. Tolerates mild drought once established. Cut back foliage in early spring. May self seed within the landscape. Avoid planting in riparian areas or near sensitive habitats.
