A stunning bouquet filler with robust stems and ethereal green "spikelets" accented with hints of red. Panicum Fontaine is a sophisticated ornamental grass, identifiable by its wispy panicles that cascade like a fountain. Good basal branching allows for numerous harvests per plant. With its resilient long stems, vibrant green foliage, and exceptional longevity in a vase, Fontaine serves as a superb filler for any bouquet or a playful component in arrangements.
