Noteworthy Characteristics
Pennisetum is a genus of about 120 species of annual and perennial grasses from warm-temperate areas worldwide. Pennisetums are grown for their attractive foliage and in some cases also their attractive inflorescence. Some cultivars have striking purple foliage.

Genus name comes from the Latin penna meaning feather and seta meaning bristle in reference to the flowers having long, feathery bristles.

Tift 10 , sold under the trade name of FIRST KNIGHT, is a selection made by Dr. Wayne Hanna at the University of Georgia for its extremely dark, blackish-purple foliage. It is the result of a planned breeding program of a cross between Pennisetum glaucum, P. purpureum and P. squamulatum. It grows with upright sword-like foliage to 4 to 5 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. It thrives in heat and is perennial in Zone 7 and higher. Where not winter hardy it can be grown as an annual.
