Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln'

Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln', known as fountain grass, is a compact ornamental grass reaching 60-80 cm. It features fine green foliage and soft, cream to light brown bottlebrush-like flower spikes that appear in summer and decorate the garden until autumn. Prefers full sun to partial shade and tolerates cold well. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Leave foliage over winter and cut back in early spring to encourage growth. Ideal for borders, rock gardens, or containers, attracting birds and butterflies.
