Maintenance guide

Pennisetum a. Etouffee®

Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:

Light

Pennisetum a. Etouffee® thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. It creates a striking effect when planted alone or in groups, with its soft silhouette adding movement to both modern and natural gardens.

Trim and care

Cut back the dry stems in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh, dense new growth.
