Description

Hameln is one of the best small Fountain Grasses, reaching only about three feet. This beauty is useful in full sun or partial shade.

The perennial fountain grasses are a prized group for landscaping accents, and they live up their name. They are mound-forming creating a fountain-like focal point wherever they grow, with a spectacular bloom in midsummer.

Ornamental Grasses provide texture, uniqueness, and beauty that will set off your favorite blooming flowers. Not only a dynamic element to your garden, Ornamental Grasses are extremely easy to grow, maintain, and will provide additional interest by evolving in seasons while the rest of your garden may be resting.

Background Plant

Comments about American Meadows Fountain Grass Hameln:

Used as a background plant in a large flower bed. Unfortunately, two of the three plants died shortly after planting and the third never really established itself. Flowers have grown up over the grass so the entire "look" isn't right.

Both 2, both didn't survive

Comments about American Meadows Fountain Grass Hameln:

Not sure what happened to these plants. bought 2 along with a host of other plants. All survived and thrived, but these looked dead right out of the box. I left them for 4-6 weeks but no new growth.

Full sun, moist (but not wet) loam soil.

This is a wonderful little grass that makes a great addition to mixed containers. It is difficult to find and American Meadows is the only place I could find it.

The prices were more than reasonable.
