White Fountain Grass is a dramatic warm season ornamental grass with narrow green foliage that tans in fall. Upright stems sporting fluffy white bottle-brush like flower spikes bloom throughout summer and turn brown in fall. Grows best with full sun and medium well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
