Grass Pennisetum Lemon Squeeze

Common Name: Fountain Grass

A brilliantly colored ornamental grass that's perfect for contrast in your sun garden. 'Lemon Squeeze' behaves like other Fountain Grass but boasts chartreuse gold leaves. One of the best for vigor that we've seen in gold-leafed Pennisetum with absolutely no burning in the sun. Full sun required for brightest gold color. Copper seedheads appear above the foliage in midsummer and provide additional interest to this three seasons grass.

Ornamental Grasses of the PRAIRIE WINDS® Collection add graceful texture and movement to the garden. These varieties thrive in full sun growing conditions and are proven deer resistant.
