Pennisetum purpureum x americanum (bana grass)

Pennisetum purpureum x americanum (bana grass)

A hybrid between elephant grass and pearl millet which produces little or no seed but grows well from cuttings and spreads by clumping. A broader leaf than elephant grass and not as aggressive. This is also a very easy grass to propagate. Simply lay whole stems (up to 4 m) into shallow trenches dug into damp soil either in situ, or in a nursery situation. Roots will strike very quickly and from each node along the stem, a new shoot will grow.
