Description
Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Black Beauty', also known as Lampshade Grass 'Black Beauty', is a remarkable ornamental grass with long arching, dark green leaves. This variety is known for its striking vigour and versatility. Although the leaves do not remain evergreen, it is still a good addition to various types of borders and plantings.
This graceful grass is especially good as a solitary plant, but can also look great in groups. What really distinguishes this 'Black Beauty' are the almost black plumes that remain attractive even after flowering. In autumn, this grass enchants with a spectacle of light green/yellow changing leaves in combination with the dark spikes.
Although this ornamental grass loses its leaves in winter, it brings out new fresh greenery with the return of spring, remaining a beautiful addition to the garden year after year. 'Black Beauty' adds a touch of elegance to any garden.
