| Botanical Name | Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Cassian' |
| Description | 'Cassian' is a favorite for Houston landscapes due to its compact habit and exceptional heat tolerance. It performs beautifully in a variety of soil types; while it can handle the area's heavy clay, it truly thrives when the soil is amended to allow for moderate drainage. Its fine-textured foliage provides a soft movement in the breeze that complements more rigid tropical plants. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Best for bloom production) |
| Height x Width | 2-3 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; once established, it is quite drought tolerant. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a general-purpose slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears. |
| Pruning | Cut back to 3-5 inches above the ground in late February before spring growth begins. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
