Bana Grass, Pennisetum purpureum x americanum, Unrooted Cuttings 3x

I’ll exchange the picture soon (at the front there is ice cream bean and at the back bana grass) – this one was a while ago and it is visible how much our soil improved! Bana grass is a great permaculture plant that can be cut several times per year. It grows incredibly fast and provides biomass, fodder, wind protection and a privacy “hedge” in only a couple of months. 

The price is for 3 UNROOTED cuttings, 3 nodes each. You either can root them in a pot or if you water also directly in the ground. Once the plant grows big, make more cuttings! Bana grass does not set seeds and grows into a clump. Full-sun or part-shade. Drought-hardy once established and can survive light frosts. It prefers well-drained fertile soil but we grow it very successfully in our poorly-drained, nutrient-poor clay garden -it’s for improving the soil after all! The kangaroos (or deer) leave some clumps alone but nibble on other clumps.
