(aka: Pennisetum TIFT-PA5) Pennisetum 'Hush Puppy' is a new and very vigorous fountain grass from the breeding program of Wayne Hanna at the University of Georgia, the result of their fountain grass sterilization program. In our trials, Pennisetum 'Hush Puppy' forms a 3' tall x 4' wide clump that produces a succession of new plumes from early/mid-July (NC), and continuing to fall...an extended flowering season due to a lack of seed production.
