Pennisetum ‘Hameln Gold’ is a ornamental grass that earns its place in any garden. Hameln is a compact fountain grass with fine leaves and soft, creamy bottlebrush flower heads in late summer.
Pennisetum, fountain grass, forms arching clumps of narrow leaves with soft, bottlebrush-like flower heads in late summer and autumn.
Pennisetum ‘Hameln Gold’ grows best in full sun, in well-drained soil. It is a good choice for front of borders, and also works well for containers, movement and texture and grass gardens. Pair it with perennials such as asters, sedums and salvias.
Water the plant well in its pot an hour before planting. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth, loosen the soil at the base, and mix in some garden compost. Set the plant at the same level it sat in the pot, backfill, firm gently and water in thoroughly.
Water in dry spells. Cut back in late winter. Generally trouble-free.
Grows in pots. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
