Description
Pennisetum Alopecuroides “Hamlin”
The “dwarf fountain grass” or “foxtail”grass”.
We think this is a lovely evergreen grass. It forms a clump of narrow arching leaves and has bottlebrushes of purple tinged flowers in late summer. The foliage turns a pretty yellow in autumn. Happy in full sun/light shade in moist well drained soil. Looks good in mixed borders or prairie plantings.
Tips: remove dead foliage and flowers in early spring
