'Hameln' Dwarf Fountain Grass | Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln'
This hardy little fountain grass is perennial, so it can be enjoyed year after year. In the winter, the leaves will turn a coppery tan and rustle in the breeze, so it is a wonderful year-round feature as well. Keep the grass untrimmed for interest in the winter garden, and trim it back when the green leaves begin appearing again in early spring. This compact fountain grass will bring gentle movement to any garden, and it will greatly reduce the need for routine trimming when placed around fencing and along paths.
