Container Size

PLEASE NOTE: Plants shipped in early spring may arrive dormant. Deciduous perennials lose their leaves or foliage during winter and may appear "lifeless", but will burst out with new growth in spring!

  • Dwarf Fountain Grass, Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' looks like a spray of thick, dark green foliage sprouting gracefully from the ground. Compact and round, the stems elegantly arch on all sides giving this variety its 'fountain look.' Fuzzy flower heads form above the spray in summer, and look like charming, wheat colored, bottle brushes. Growing up to 3' tall, a single or group of plants will make a nice accent in small beds and rock gardens. For bigger areas, plant Dwarf Fountain Grass in mass where it will add structure and beauty to the landscape in every season.

    • Hameln is a shorter, more compact variety of fountain grass
    • Thick, dark green foliage sprouts gracefully from the ground
    • The stems elegantly arch on all sides giving this variety its 'fountain look'

    Fuzzy foxtail flower heads bloom in summer

    Charming bottlebrush-shaped light tan blooms form above the spray, decorating this grass in the summer. Hameln blooms two weeks earlier than the species. The bloom color changes to pinkish brown in the fall, with the leaves becoming bright golden yellow to bronze. The flower spikes last until early winter when the foliage turns light beige. Its genus name comes from the Latin penna meaning feather and seta for bristle.

Our dwarf hameln fountain grasses are still dormant, but we were very impressed with the packaging job. They arrived in perfect condition, and we appreciated how the plastic kept any soil from spilling out of the pots. I know they will be beautiful when they start to grow!

I planted the grass immediately because we were expecting snow here in northern Minnesota. I'll have to wait until spring to watch it grow.

We planted them on the hill behind the Koi Pond. We continue to water as directed and can't wait till spring to see how they will grow.
