Description
Praline' is a compact, sterile fountain grass certified as non-invasive, so it stays where you plant it. As the smallest variety, it is ideal for tight spaces, borders, or container fillers. It features prolific, soft, tan-to-caramel plumes from mid-summer through fall. Because it produces no seed, it blooms longer. Once established, it tolerates drought and heat while resisting deer and rabbits.
