Cassian Fountain Grass

Bring reliable, low-maintenance beauty to your landscape with Cassian Fountain Grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Cassian’) — a compact, early-blooming selection prized for its exceptionally early and prolific flower production. Similar in habit to the popular Hameln, Cassian sets itself apart by blooming several weeks earlier, delivering its showy golden-tan bottlebrush plumes from mid-summer onward. Its tidy, mounding form and warm fall color make it a four-season standout in borders, mass plantings, and mixed containers.
