Fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) is considered an invasive species in many regions, particularly in the southwestern United States, where it outcompetes native plants, disrupts local ecosystems, and alters fire regimes. Its dense growth can increase wildfire risks, as it dries out quickly and creates ample fuel for fires. Additionally, it can negatively impact biodiversity by displacing native flora and fauna, leading to reduced habitat quality for wildlife. Managing its spread requires ongoing efforts and resources, posing challenges for land management.
