'Hameln' Fountain Grass

Add fluffy plumes and three seasons of interest to your hydrangea garden with 'Hameln' fountain grass! This ornamental grass begins blooming in the summer, with soft and airy white plumes adding texture and movement as it sways in the wind. These plumes last well into winter, making it a great backdrop for other winter-interest plants or mass-planted as the focal point of your garden. Compared to other fountain grasses, 'Hameln' is a dwarf variety, making it smaller and easier to tuck into existing borders and hedges.
