Free: Pennisetum grass roots (Stratford E15 4) I'm dividing and moving a clump of Pennisetum grass before it comes into growth. When it grows it has grass like leaves and develops creamy white plumes in the summer. They do tend to flop over so I use plant supports.It spreads to form a clump and will develop more plumes as it gets older. Dies down in winter and starts growing again around April time. I have roots to give away. No photos as they are just roots but you can google what it looks like. Pick up today or Sunday.
