    DESCRIPTION

    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.

    Petite ornamental grass forms miniature fountain of green

    • 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.

    SHIPPING DETAILS

    Shipping Methods

    Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.

    Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).

     

    We are sticklers about packaging and shipping your order in a way that guarantees healthy plants upon arrival. If plants are damaged on arrival, just let us know and we'll send you new ones or offer a full refund.

     

    All of our plants are container grown and shipped with the soil and roots fully intact. We DO NOT ship your plants bare-root. Being shipped as a containered plant greatly reduces the risk of the plant not surviving the transit to your home.
