CREAM LEA ™
A beautiful native grass with deep green foliage and creamy-white flowers™®
Pennisetum Alopecuroides
A beautiful native grass with deep green foliage and creamy-white flowers. Cream Lea is a select variety of the Australian native grass, Pennisetum alopecuroides. Cream Lea is a tall grass with green foliage to 1.2 metres, and flowers that are creamy-white in colour are held above the foliage to 1.4 metres. Cream lea holds its foliage colour overwinter better than all other Pennisetum varieties.
Pennisetum is often called Swamp Foxtail Grass because they like to have a moist soil to perform at their best. Saying this, `Cream Lea` will still grow very well in a mulched garden bed, and it is also reasonably drought tolerant. The `Cream Lea` variety of Pennisetum flowers in autumn with cream coloured foxtail like flower heads. Prune or cut back the old winter foliage in early spring each year to give the grass a new flush of lush green foliage. For the most part, `Cream Lea` has a non-viable seed; however, in subtropical and tropical climate zones, some self-seeding has been known to occur, and with the advent of climate change, this could begin to occur in more southern climates as well. We mention this not to scare gardeners but to make you aware that there have been known instances of self-seeding. One way to prevent this is to cut the flower heads off before setting seeds in late autumn.
