Pennisetum setaceum
Fountain grass or African fountain grass is a highly invasive tufted grass. Plants are used as ornamentals in gardens. Once escaped, this grass can form dense stands that exclude all other plants. It has been used for soil stabilisation and is a weed of pastures and alongside railway lines and roads. Fountain grass is of little grazing value due to its coarse rough leaves.
