Fountain Grass is an excellent all-season performer which looks great planted alone or used in groups to add fabulous texture and winter interest to mixed borders. Graceful, slender dark green leaves form a perfect round mound. In early summer silvery to pinkish white bottlebrush-like flowers spray like a fountain outward from the foliage, hence the common name. The flowers gradually turn a tan color and are effective until early winter. In early spring, before new growth emerges, cut foliage back to a few inches.

Early in the season, many plants are pruned to encourage later fullness, and therefore may vary in size from the photo and size range. Rest assured, they hold the same glorious potential.
We deliver outdoor plants within a zone around the Chicagoland. As plants are perishable, we take care to deliver them by hand using our own vehicles.
- Delivery zone includes the North Shore Suburbs North up to Winthrop Harbor and Wauconda; North Side of Chicago to downtown and Southwest to Oak Park. See here for a list of zip codes.
- For plant material not planted by Chalet, there is a 1-year, 50% merchandise credit guarantee.
Planting
- To add Chalet's Planting Service, standard pricing is equal to the plants' retail price. (minimum planting fee is $75)
- Fees do not include tree or stump removal.
- Larger orders may require separate labor quote. Plantings carry a 1-year full guarantee. However, there is no guarantee for container or planter plantings as they are difficult to overwinter.
