DESCRIPTION
Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln’ is a compact ornamental grass that blooms from mid to late summer. It produces soft, greenish-cream flower panicles that arch gracefully above the foliage, adding a delicate touch to garden landscapes. Originating from Asia and Australia, this cultivar has been selected for its reduced size and refined habit, making it suitable for smaller gardens and various landscape applications.
The plant's finely textured, mid-green leaves form a dense clump that transitions to golden-yellow in the fall before fading to beige, providing visual interest throughout multiple seasons. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, 'Hameln' is valued for its resilience, attracting songbirds while remaining deer-resistant. Its adaptability to full sun and partial shade, along with its minimal maintenance requirements, make it a versatile choice for borders, mass plantings, or decorative containers.
