Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' P26

A compact, RHS Award of Garden Merit-winning fountain grass, forming a neat mound of narrow, arching green foliage that turns golden in autumn. From midsummer into autumn, soft, bristly bottlebrush flower spikes rise just above the leaves, ageing from green to pinkish-purple then buff-brown, and persisting well into winter for lasting structure. Reaching 50cm–1m in both height and spread, 'Hameln' is ideal for borders, gravel gardens, or grouped for a naturalistic drift. Grow in full sun in any well-drained soil; cut back old foliage in early spring before new growth emerges.

Each plant is hand-selected before dispatch.
