    Black Fountain Grass, Pennisetum alopercuroides 'Moudry', is for the gardener who craves something exclusive. Lush green foliage that will turn yellow or orange in fall makes up this mound forming ornamental. Possibly, the best part about this plant is its unique, foxtail shaped flowers that show in an almost black colored hue and make a distinctive impression. Reaching a maximum height of 2-3' Black Fountain Grass is wonderful for borders and mass plantings in small to mid-sized garden beds.

    Shipping Methods

    Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.

    Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).

    We are sticklers about packaging and shipping your order in a way that guarantees healthy plants upon arrival. If plants are damaged on arrival, just let us know and we'll send you new ones or offer a full refund.

    All of our plants are container grown and shipped with the soil and roots fully intact. We DO NOT ship your plants bare-root. Being shipped as a containered plant greatly reduces the risk of the plant not surviving the transit to your home.

    Wonderful All Around

    This is the first order with The Greenhouse. I have been ordering plants online for at least 25 years from well known growers across the U.S. The Greenhouse packaging was by far the best. I don't think anything could have harmed them (ordered two that came separately). They were perfect size and and very healthy. Other growers send smaller plants and usually wait until later in the season. Planting in this zone (mid eastern PA) after August is sketchy.
    We have been turning colder earlier each year and the plants do not have a chance to acclimate and get strong. These I am sure will survive and come back next year. Great customer service, too. We will be returning customers. Thank you.
