Fountain Grass is a justifiably and hardy perennial grown for its upright feathery purple heads. It can be used in flower beds to add structure, in drifts, or on containers that can be moved around. It is also a great plant for cutting with it commonly used in fresh and dried flower arrangements.


Sowing Guide

  • Sow at any time of year
  • Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting. 
  • Sow seeds thinly into trays or large pots containing a good quality seed compost mix - ideally a mix of  50% regular compost, 50% vermiculite
  • Do not cover the seed with compost as light is required for germination, just lightly press the seeds into the earth.
  • Moisten the seeds, cover the container with a clear plastic dome or put it in a clear plastic bag so the seeds remain moist. Keep at temperatures of around 15 to 20C
  • Put the container in indirect light away from the sun, germination should take place in two to four weeks. 
  • After the seedlings appear, remove the cover and place them where they can get plenty of sun and maintain a temperature of around 15°C until the seedlings are established.
  • If sown in Autumn or Winter, keep in posts indoors or in greenhouse etc until spring.
  • Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them to 15" pots containing gritty compost. 
  • They will form a bushy plant and be ready to go into the garden in spring.
  • Once established, clumps can easily be divided in winter to increase your stock.
