Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' - Dwarf Fountain Grass (48-Pack)
This 48-pack of Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' brings texture, movement, and year-round interest to your garden. Known for its compact size and graceful arching habit, this dwarf fountain grass produces beautiful creamy-white plumes from late August through autumn, creating a fountain-like display wherever planted.
Key Features
Each plant arrives at 10-25cm height in 9cm diameter pots, ready to establish in your garden. The narrow, bright green foliage forms dense clumps that transition to warm golden-amber hues in fall before fading to attractive beige tones in winter. The fluffy, bottlebrush-like plumes emerge on slender stems above the foliage, starting creamy white and gradually maturing to beige.
Versatile Garden Applications
This bulk 48-pack is perfect for creating stunning mass plantings along driveways, walkways, or borders. Use them as edging plants, in mixed perennial beds, rock gardens, or containers. The compact growth habit makes them ideal for small gardens while providing enough quantity for larger landscape projects. Plant in sweeps for dramatic effect or use as accent specimens in patio containers.
Low Maintenance Care
Hameln fountain grass thrives in both full sun and partial shade, making it adaptable to various garden conditions. Once established, it requires minimal care and tolerates drought well. Simply cut back the foliage in February to encourage fresh spring growth. This warm-season grass is deer resistant and provides habitat for birds throughout winter.
