Planted this year, so it did not reach the expected 3 feet. I do like fountain grass:)
Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hush Puppy' 23W39 Fountain Grass T4- (Wayne Hanna) Fountain Grass, Mature plant size: 3ft, Long-lasting pink plumes, USDA Hardiness Zone 5-9, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed T4 for 139 DAYS (Bluestone). Planted in 2023.
Bluestone Perennials: Long-lasting pink plumes shoot skyward atop a neat mound of slender foliage blades. Due to its lack of seed production, plumes are produced for a long-lasting show from mid-summer into late fall. Its vigorous yet petite habit provides nice texture and contrast in container plantings. Pennisetum Hush Puppy is beautiful planted in sweeping masses or also shines as a specimen plant. Perfect for full-sun borders. The seed heads can be used as a lovely addition to fresh and dried flower arrangements. Another stellar Fountain Grass developed by Wayne Hanna at the University of Georgia.
