Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln,' commonly known as Fountain Grass, is a stunning ornamental grass that provides year-round interest in your garden. This hardy and low-maintenance plant quickly forms a neat clump, making it ideal for filling gaps in perennial and shrub borders. While its grassy foliage remains understated for much of the year, it truly shines in late summer when the beautiful, spikelet-like flower heads appear, resembling a squirrel's tail. These decorative seed heads can be left on the plant into autumn, adding a unique texture and visual appeal to your landscape.Fountain Grass thrives in fertile, light, well-drained soil in full sun, and requires minimal care once established. It's an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a resilient and visually striking plant. To ensure the best growth, avoid overwatering, as Pennisetum may rot in overly wet soils. Protect the plant's crown in winter with a dry mulch of bark or straw, and cut back dead foliage and faded flowers i
