Quackin Grass Nursery

Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Foxtrot’ – is a very nice form of Giant Fountain Grass. The whip-like foliage arches and fountains as multitudes late season 6” to 9” inflorescences erupt over the leaves in a pinkish bronze-purple color looking every bit like foxtails bobbing and dancing in the breeze. We have ours planted with Leucanthemella serotina ​'Herbststern', Sedum 'Autumn Joy', near Physocarpus opulifolius 'Brimstone and Fire' and a trio of Viburnum dilatatum 'Erie' - an opulent late season grouping... it's about as complete and perfect a September show one can put together in the garden (maybe add in one of the taller very late flowering daylilies - I think I'm gonna do it!) This is followed and overlapped with a hardy, late season mum, 'Cambodian Queen'. Wonderful. …or plop a big old pumpkin in front of a clump for a variation on a classic. 'Foxtrot' is a bit later, taller and colored a bit lighter than 'Redhead'. For best performance site ‘Fox Trot’ in sun planted in fertile moisture retaining soil. 'Foxtrot' is a clumping grass - it does not run. Division.
