10 Seeds Pennisetum alopecuroides Hameln Fountain Grass Ornamental

Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln', commonly known as Hameln Fountain Grass, is a compact ornamental grass grown for its arching, fine-textured foliage and fuzzy, bottlebrush-like flower spikes. This cultivar is a smaller, tidier selection valued for its graceful form and reliable summer-to-fall display in beds, borders, and containers.
The foliage forms a neat clump of green blades that turns golden in autumn, while the soft buff-colored plumes rise above the mound and persist into winter, adding movement and texture to the landscape. It works well massed in borders, as an edging plant, in rock gardens, and in mixed container plantings.
