8. Pennisetum foxtail
Among ornamental grasses, any plant that blooms in the second half of summer and later can be included in the lists of the best autumn flowers. Luxurious panicles of cereal inflorescences are indispensable even in a winter garden, and in autumn their musical grace and a delightful palette of metallic shades seem to be an incomparably elegant decoration of fiery compositions. One of the brightest autumn cereals is the incomparable pennisetum.
Pennisetum foxtail is a powerful and very bright decorative cereal. One of the advantages of this type of pennisetum is rightly considered the ability to grow well and form dense, lush and wide bushes. Very narrow, linear leaves with a rich summer color change to gold in the fall.
The thinnest stems rise and droop under the weight of inflorescences above the dense sod. The leaves are arranged so densely that they form a curtain, reminiscent of haonechloa in texture and overall effect.
The inflorescences of the foxtail pennisetum are difficult not to recognize. Long, dense, surprisingly delicate, interesting due to their structure, inflorescences in shape and effect, and indeed, evoke associations with fox tails. By repeating the curves of the leaves and evenly spreading over the entire sod, the inflorescences give pennisetums the effect of a living fountain or cascade.
Pennisetums bloom in August and continue to delight with panicles until the end of autumn.
This type of cereals cannot boast of a huge number of varieties. Usually, varietal pennisetums are plants with brighter foliage or with lighter or darker panicles, but with a typical appearance for this cereal.
Pennisetums are not only the kings of the landscape style. They look great on flower beds and in flower beds, can be used as single accents, in rockeries, mixborders, cereal gardens, prairie gardens.
Pennisetum is not difficult to care for. The plant prefers mulching the soil to weeding, fertilizers are applied once a year in early spring, and watering is carried out only in severe drought. Regular renewal allows pennisetums to maintain turf density and vigor. For the winter, this perennial needs to be covered, but with just a simple layer of dry leaves or spruce branches.
