Karley Rose Fountain Grass - pennisetum

Karley Rose Fountain Grass - pennisetum, originally uploaded by shersteve.

A neighbor had stopped by recently inquiring on the name for the ornamental grass in our front yard. I checked with my broher-in-law who had handled the landscaping for us.

It is called "Karley Rose Fountain Grass". A good sounding name for such a good spray of grass.

The Latin name is "pennisetum".

Now we all know what it is called!
