Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Piglet’ is a compact fountain grass prized for its graceful form and soft, bottlebrush-like flower plumes. Fine, arching green foliage forms a dense, tidy mound, while creamy-tan flower spikes emerge in late summer and rise just above the leaves, creating beautiful movement and texture. As autumn approaches, the foliage develops warm golden tones and the seed heads remain attractive well into winter. Smaller than many fountain grasses, ‘Piglet’ is ideal for borders, mass plantings, containers, and smaller landscapes. Heat and drought tolerant once established, this easy-care grass provides reliable multi-season interest with minimal maintenance.
