'Hameln' Fountain Grass is a smaller variety with three distinctive seasons of stunning displays in full sun or part shade gardens. First, fine-textured green grass blades up to 3 feet tall are tipped with soft, wheat-shaped seed heads. Foliage turns rust gold in autumn, and finally, pale blonde in winter. 'Hameln' is a favorite for birds and resists hungry deer. A great match for late-season perennials and colorful shrubs in the mixed border, as well as cut or dried flower arrangements. (Pennisetum alopecuroides)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
24-36" tall x 18-30" wide. ‘Hameln’ is
one of the best small Fountain Grasses, reaching only about three feet tall.
This beauty is useful in full sun or partial shade. 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, structure,
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 dormant. Cut back in late winter or spring before new growth
emerges.
