(aka: Pennisetum Tift PA18) Pennisetum 'Cayenne' is another of the amazing sterile fountain grass introductions from Wayne Hanna's work at the University of Georgia. Pennisetum 'Cayenne' forms a 4' tall x 5.5' wide clump, adorned from mid-summer into November with a mass of dark brown plumes. This is the longest and latest flowering of the UGA introductions.
