Comments: Fountain grasses are prized for their fluffy, buff-colored plumes that arch and sway. It blooms summer through the fall. It creates a terrific contrast when used among shrubs or as a backdrop in a perennial bed. The foliage turns golden-russet in the fall. Full sun is preferred. Hush Puppy™ has light-pink inflorescenes that stand more upright than other fountian grasses.
