Why We Love It
Why We Love It
Ornamental grasses like Pennisetum 'Hameln' are easy and effective.
Planted in a pot individually or as part of a bigger planting plan this grass evokes a definite feeling of drama.
The feathery tufts that come out in late summer are reminiscent of popped Prosecco bottles.
It's a grass that needs centre stage especially as the green stems mellow over autumn.
How to Plant
How to Plant
Put Pennisetum 'Hameln' somewhere in the sun so the light catches the dramatic stems in summer and autumn.
Into the Ground
- Give your plant a good drink of water before planting.

Into a Pot
