Fountain Grass Questions

Question

I live in Zone 6 and I am looking for the right type of fountain grass to plant around two sides of my pool in a rock garden. I am looking for one that will grow to 2-3 feet tall (and wide), and preferably one that will not lose its seeds too early while my pool is still open. I don’t want the seeds and flowers to end up in my pool. Also, I would like a variety where the blades of grass aren’t too prickly, as kids will definitely run by it and touch it. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Some good choices to consider here would be Mexican feather grass, broom sedge and Tall Tails fountain grass.
