Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

The Pennisetum setaceum, also known as "fountain grass", is a perennial ornamental grass famous for its elegant habit and soft, arching inflorescences. Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia, this plant is ideal for adding movement and lightness to Mediterranean gardens, mixed borders and landscape compositions. Its ability to grow in difficult conditions and its beauty make it an essential element for low-maintenance gardens.

  • Growth habit and height: fast-growing tufted grass, 50–100 cm tall.
  • Foliage: narrow, linear leaves, bright green or reddish depending on the variety.
  • Flowering: from late spring to autumn, with arching, feathery panicles ranging from pink to white.
  • Hardiness: drought-tolerant and withstands intense heat; grows well in poor soils.
  • Ideal for: borders, mixed beds, rock gardens, xeriscaping, and large ground cover areas.
  • Soil: well-drained, even poor soil.
  • Exposure: full sun.
  • Watering: regular watering during the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: cut off dry parts at the end of winter or beginning of spring.

It pairs well with grasses such as Stipa tenuissima and Miscanthus sinensis, Lavandula angustifolia, Cistus creticus and Gaura lindheimeri, as well as the silvery foliage of Santolina chamaecyparissus and Helichrysum italicum.

FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
