Pennisetum villosum Fluffy | Feather Top grass
Pennisetum villosum ‘Fluffy,’ also known as Feather Top Grass, is a graceful ornamental grass producing abundant feathery white spikelets that resemble soft downy feathers. This versatile grass is perfect for dried flower arrangements and fresh cuts, adding a soft, elegant texture to bouquets and garden plantings. Its bright green leaves and fluffy flowers make it a striking focal point as a stand-alone plant, or it can be massed in groupings for a dramatic effect. This resilient variety thrives in moist, well-drained soil under full sun conditions.
Key Features:
- Fluffy White Flowers: Abundant, downy flower stalks bring a soft, airy quality to any garden or arrangement.
- Fresh Green Leaves: Complement the delicate flowers and add a lush backdrop.
- Versatile Use: Stunning as a standalone accent or in group plantings, and excellent for cutting and drying.
- Easy Maintenance: Tolerant of a variety of conditions, but prefers light, well-drained soil.
Sowing Instructions:
-
Indoor Sowing:
- Sow indoors between February and April, or in autumn.
- Surface sow seeds onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Cover lightly with 4mm of vermiculite.
- Keep at 15–20°C for approximately 14 days for germination.
- Once germinated, reduce temperature to 15°C. Transplant clumps of seedlings into 1L pots and grow on.
- Plant outdoors in summer.
-
Direct Sowing:
- Sow seeds directly from March into prepared soil.
- Drill 30mm deep, spaced in rows 75cm apart.
- Germination takes 7–21 days. Thin seedlings to 30cm spacing.
Growing Instructions:
- Soil: Prefers light, moderately fertile soil that is moist but well-drained.
- Light: Thrives in full sun.
- Fertilising: Apply fertiliser once in summer for optimal flower display, but avoid over-fertilising, which encourages excessive leaf growth at the expense of flowers.
- Winter Protection: In colder areas, may need protection from severe frost.
Cultivation Instructions:
- Seasonal Care: Remove dead foliage and old flower stems in spring as new growth emerges.
- Low Maintenance: Minimal care required aside from light trimming and occasional feeding.
Pennisetum villosum ‘Fluffy’ is an elegant, easy-to-grow ornamental grass that adds a sophisticated touch to gardens and floral designs. Its abundant, feathery flowers and lush green foliage make it a reliable choice for any gardener seeking natural charm.
