Pennisetum Hameln is an attractive ornamental grass featuring dark green foliage and pinkish-white flower spikes that persist through winter, providing interest. Its dried flower spikes in winter stand out against the winter sky or freshly fallen snow. Its green foliage is the perfect plant to use as a specimen or mass planting to provide a bold wave of foliage that moves with the summer breezes. During the mid-simmer, Fountain Grass’s dramatic foliage turns a golden-copper shade and looks excellent compared to green plants. Dwarf Fountain Grass is ideal for locations where larger grasses cannot grow or would overpower the view. Pennisetum Hameln’s compact growth habit and finely textured foliage make this one of the most popular warm-season grasses. The overall size of the Pennisetum Hameln is easy to blend into a perennial border without overwhelming smaller flowering plants. We recommend planting Dwarf Fountain Grass in full sun and nutrient-rich soil for the best results.
