Slightly wider foliage with a glossy, dark green appearance. It forms a small, neat mound and is a very attractive addition to a garden. Performs best in regions with cooler summers.Seed heads emerge in September and are dark purple at the edges, black in the center, becoming lighter and fluffier by autumn. Prefers well-draining soil. Full sun to light shade. Also grows well in moist locations such as peripheries of water gardens, ponds or streams. A great scale for small gardens, or the foreground of a tall grass border. Excellent for use in container gardens. Since it can handle some shade, you might want to use it as a vertical accent in the hosta garden too. Yellow-pumpkin to straw colored foliage in fall. Attracts birds. Common Name: Black Flowering Fountain Grass
