Hameln Dwarf Fountain Grass

Specs

Botanical Name Pennisetum alo. ‘Hameln’

Environment Full/Half Sun, Low/Medium Water

Color White Flowers, Green Leaves

More compact and shorter than the species, ‘Hameln’ has finely textured leaves that are especially lovely when backlit by the early morning or late afternoon sun. Soft, greenish-cream colored panicles begin to appear in midsummer, a few weeks earlier than the species. This grass works most effectively in mass plantings, but can also be used as an accept plant in gardens and in containers.
