Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' (Dwarf Fountain Grass) forms a neat, graceful mound of fine green foliage topped by fluffy, buff-colored plumes that arch beautifully in late summer. The foliage turns a gorgeous golden-russet in fall, extending seasonal interest.
Perfect contrast among shrubs or as a backdrop for perennial beds. Perennial, full sun, low water (drought tolerant once established). Under 2 feet tall, spreading 1–2 feet. A Doreen Wynja photo favorite.
