Chinese pennisetum

Cenchrus alopecuroides, previously Pennisetum alopecuroides (Pen-ih-SEE-tum al-oh-pek-yur-OY-deez), commonly known as the Chinese pennisetum, Chinese fountaingrass, dwarf fountain grass, foxtail fountain grass, or swamp foxtail grass, is a species of perennial grass native to Asia and Australia. The culms are erect, and 60–100 cm long.

Pennisetum alopecuroides belongs to the Pennisetum genus within the Poaceae family. It performs reliably across temperate, subtropical zones in our experience.
