Pennisetum PRAIRIE WINDS® ‘Lemon Squeeze’ (Fountain Grass)
PRAIRIE WINDS® ‘Lemon Squeeze’ brings a burst of bright color and graceful movement to the landscape. Its bold, chartreuse-green foliage stands out beautifully in full sun, forming a rounded, mounding shape that provides color and texture all season long. Reaching 3–3½ feet tall and up to 4½ feet wide, this vibrant grass adds a luminous contrast to darker plants and garden backdrops.
In early fall, soft tan seed heads rise above the foliage, adding height, motion, and seasonal interest. Whether planted as a single specimen, grouped in a mass, or featured in containers, ‘Lemon Squeeze’ offers year-round appeal with minimal care. The foliage and seed heads are also excellent for fresh or dried arrangements, bringing natural texture indoors. Deer resistant and heat tolerant, this variety is a versatile favorite for modern landscapes.
