Originating in Africa, the middle east, and southwest Asia, fountain grass is an easy-to-care-for plant that resembles a fountain of colorful feathers. These plants do well in gardens or as a border for walkways and driveways. The small flowers range in color from tan, pink, or purple and they put on quite a show in the fall.
