Thompson & Morgan

Enhance your garden with the Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln', commonly known as Fountain Grass. This highly decorative ornamental grass offers exceptional, year-round interest, quickly forming attractive clumps that are perfect for filling gaps in perennial and shrub borders. Its neat, grassy foliage remains understated until late summer when the magnificent flower heads emerge, resembling fluffy squirrel tails, adding a soft, misty effect and a touch of elegance.This graceful, deciduous grass is a low-maintenance perennial that thrives in prairie-style plantings, cottage gardens, and even cut flower arrangements. The unique, bristly flower heads persist into autumn, complemented by foliage that turns a beautiful golden hue. Leave the decorative seedheads on your Fountain Grass plants throughout the autumn and winter for continued visual appeal and to provide shelter for wildlife. Height: 150cm (59").
