Comments: This dwarf fountain grass is highlighted by fluffy, buff-colored plumes arching above the foliage. It blooms summer through the fall. It creates a terrific contrast when used among shrubs or as a backdrop in a perennial bed. The foliage turns golden-russet in the fall. Full sun is preferred. 'Hameln' is more compact than the straight species and the flowers are shorter.
