  • Description

  • Notes

Hameln fountain grass is a dark green, fine textured grass, slightly more compact then Moudry. It forms a tight, compact mound 1-1/2 to 2 feet in height, and has creamy tan flowers that emerge early to mid summer. Flower plumes are creamy white against green grass-like foliage growing 2 to 3 ft. tall. Very effective when planted in mass.
