Ornamental Napier Grass

From breeder Dr. Wayne Hanna, University of Georgia

A Royal Flush is the rarest hand in poker — you could play a lifetime and never see one.

But in ornamental grasses, the odds are in your favor. Ante up for our Royal Collection of bold, dark Pennisetum hybrids. Big presence. Strong performance. A sure bet every time.
