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.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

"My Hameln Fountain grass is doing very well even though it is hot and dry here in south Texas. The seed heads look beautiful blowing in the breeze!"
"I planted 5 of these along my walkway. They started off tiny and I wondered if they would ever flower. They finally did about a month ago and they all look very healthy, even in this heat."
"Bought this to put around an outdoor seating area, received it in spring and it grew all summer. I bought quite a few and only 3 didn't make it."
"Planted easy, grew well. Overall very happy."
"I received nine Hameln grasses. They were small making it affordable to get that many. Eight survived as I planted last Fall, not a good time to plant ornamental grass. The surviving eight look great."
"I bought two of these beautiful grasses about 3 years ago and they are just gorgeous to look at out in my garden! I love them so much that I have another 3 ordered to be shipped to me this fall. Very attractive in the garden and provides cover for birds and other creatures. Very hardy and dependable perennial plants."
"These plants arrived in little 1 inch pots in April 2015 and I planted them immediately. At the time they were dormant, which translates to "they look dead"! I couldn't have been more wrong! I thought I would probably have to wait until at least next summer to see any real growth, if they grow at all. To my surprise, they have grown to about a foot and a half and all of them already have the beautiful 'feathers'. Next summer they will be gorgeous! Wouldn't think of shopping anywhere else for my plants. Thank you!"
"They arrived alive and well packaged. I planted them the same day the arrived in late April (zone 6) and within 3 to 4 weeks they were established and growing. They reached their potential by August and have looked great since! Had a wet prolonged spring, but they held their own."
"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."
