Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hamelin', also known as lamp-cleaning grass, is a hardy, compact ornamental grass that is particularly impressive with its graceful, feathery inflorescences. These appear from August to October in delicate creamy white to brownish tones and lend gardens an elegant lightness.
With a height of around 60 cm, this variety is ideal for smaller gardens, borders or as a companion plant in herbaceous borders. The grass prefers sunny locations and well-drained soil, is hardy and easy to care for. Its compact, bushy growth and delicate foliage make Pennisetum 'Hameln' a popular eye-catcher in modern gardens.
Cut back your ornamental grass at the end of February. Then it can recover and come back in spring.
