Pennisetum ‘Hameln’ is a non-native dwarf selection of fountain grass that has deep green arching foliage. The leaves are deep green in the summer and change to orange-bronze in the fall and showy pink to white flower spikes arrive in late summer.
Native to open lowlands and grasslands in East Asia, ‘Hameln’ needs full sun and moist, well-drained soils. A very popular selection that provides ornamental value; birds will eat the seeds as well.
