Pennisetum alopecuroides Swamp Foxtail Grass

Swamp Foxtail Grass is a compact, elegant native grass that brings soft texture and gentle movement to the garden. Fine green foliage forms neat, graceful clumps, while creamy foxtail flower spikes rise above the leaves, swaying beautifully in the breeze. A versatile choice for mass planting to help suppress weeds, lining borders, or adding texture to rocky and native garden settings. It is easy to maintain, with occasional watering and a trim to remove spent flowers and foliage helping to keep it looking fresh and tidy. Apply a controlled-release fertiliser after trimming to encourage healthy new growth.

Soil: Suited to moist boggy soils.
