Cassian Fountain Grass

About this plant

Known for its elegant form and delightful plumes, Cassian Fountain Grass (Cenchrus alopecuroides 'Cassian') adds textural interest and movement to any landscape. This cultivar is particularly valued for its early blooming nature, producing abundant, creamy-white flower spikes that mature to a lovely pinkish-tan. Its compact yet flowing habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or as a focal point in containers. The fine-textured leaves create a soft, inviting aesthetic that sways gracefully in the breeze. Beyond its beauty, Cassian Fountain Grass is remarkably low-maintenance, offering season-long appeal with minimal fuss. It's a fantastic choice for adding an airy, naturalistic touch to your garden design.

Care & maintenance

Provide well-drained soil and water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant. Cut back dead foliage to within a few inches of the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
