Pennisetum alopecuriodes Hameln

Pennisetum alopecuriodes Hameln is a compact, clump-forming ornamental grass celebrated for its fine-textured, arching green foliage and soft, bottlebrush-like flower spikes. Blooming in late summer, the fluffy, cream-tinted plumes gently sway in the breeze, adding movement and lightness to garden designs. As autumn arrives, the foliage transitions to golden-bronze hues, providing year-round visual apeal.

Thriving in well-drained soils, including loam, sand, and chalk, Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’ flourishes in full sun and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Its neat, mounded growth habit makes it a fantastic choice for borders, rock gardens, and contemporary planting schemes where texture and structure are desired.

Perfect for softening hard landscaping, lining pathways, or creating naturalistic planting schemes, this versatile grass works beautifully in mixed borders and wildlife-friendly gardens. Its feathery plumes attract pollinators while adding a delicate, airy quality to any space.
