Monrovia Dwarf Fountain Grass

Since this grass reaches a mature width of 2 feet, you should space them at least 2 to 2.5 feet apart to allow for proper airflow and growth. If you are planting them in a row for a border effect, spacing them closer to 2 feet apart will create a more continuous, filled-in look.

No, Dwarf Fountain Grass is deciduous. While it features lush green foliage throughout the spring and summer, it will turn a striking golden-russet color in the fall before eventually dying back for the winter.

Yes, this variety is considered deer-resistant, meaning it is generally not a preferred food source for deer. However, no plant is completely deer-proof, especially if local deer populations are under significant food stress.

Absolutely. Its compact, fountain-like habit makes it an excellent choice for large containers. Just ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes and is large enough to accommodate the root system as it reaches its mature size.

This grass thrives in full sun, which means it needs at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Planting it in a spot with too much shade will likely result in weak, floppy growth and fewer of its signature fluffy plumes.

Because it is deciduous, you should cut the foliage back to a few inches above the ground in late winter or very early spring. This clears away the old, dormant growth and makes room for fresh, vibrant green blades to emerge as the weather warms.
