Hameln Fountain Grass – 1 Quart Live Pennisetum Plant

Hameln Fountain Grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’) is a compact, clump-forming perennial ornamental grass valued for its graceful, arching foliage and soft, bottlebrush-like flower plumes. Its finely textured green leaves form a neat, rounded mound, adding movement and visual interest to garden beds, borders, and landscape designs.

During late summer and fall, Hameln Fountain Grass produces fluffy, creamy tan flower spikes that rise above the foliage. The plumes create an attractive contrast against the green leaves, while the foliage often develops golden-yellow tones as temperatures cool. This ornamental grass is suitable for mass plantings, mixed perennial borders, pathways, and decorative containers.

Your plant is supplied as a live plant in a 1-quart (QT) container. Hameln Fountain Grass performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, with moderate watering during establishment. Once established, it offers relatively low-maintenance seasonal interest in suitable climates.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
