How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
48-72" tall (4-6 feet) x 36-48" wide. 'Foxtrot' Fountain Grass has cascading, narrow green foliage. This plant deserves a spot in the garden where its fantastic form can shine. Plant singly as an accent or in groups for a powerful display. Collect and dry plumes for dried arrangements. A well-behaved perennial grass, 'Foxtrot' does not commonly reseed in the garden. Plant it in full sun in any well-drained soil. Plants perform well in hot locations but require adequate moisture. Allow leaf blades to stand during the winter months to provide seasonal interest and shelter for wildlife. Cut back to six inches above ground level in early spring before new growth emerges.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

"I purchased four flats of these to plant as a hedge along our gravel driveway. I was skeptical about buying this many plants and expected some to arrive dead. But to my very pleasant surprise every single plant was alive and healthy. I wanted a smaller size because we had to dig a lot of holes and these were a great choice. But for a 3. 5 inch pot they were full and ready to grow bigger. I am really excited to see this hedge grow in the next few years. Thank you for the good quality control, I would definitely buy from American Meadows again."
"Little bitty plant is thriving and growing. Came in cardboard and dry. Should shipped be in plastic"
"We purchase two trays of 18. The plants arrived in great condition, but we were surprised by how small they were (6-8"). This is not a knock. I reached out to American Meadows to ask about this in advance, and they were transparent on this point. Can't stop a girl from hoping for something bigger though. :) I should not have been concerned. These went into a steep-ish slope, full sun, planting as directed with only a little root start mycorrhiza into clay soil, Zone 7B. They slept for a couple of weeks, but after a nice rain they took off and doubling in size about every month and a half or so until it got cold. Picture is terrible but shows the hill and size after only a couple of months. Plumes were this wonderful pink-tinged foxtail, as advertised. Beautiful. They continued to grow a little during the mild winter, and we're about 3' tall! I know they will bush out even further and put on an even more lush and beautiful display this year. Highly recommend and looking for more places to plant."
