About Dwarf Fountain Grass ‘Hameln’
- Attractive Features: This ornamental grass stands out with its upright, vase-shaped form, narrow green blades that turn red, orange, and gold in the fall, and showy purple plumes in early fall that fade to tan.
- Improved Variety: ‘Desert Plains’ is considered an improvement over other fountain grass varieties like ‘Cassian’ and ‘Hameln’ due to its better habit, flowering, and fall color.
- Hardiness: It’s hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, making it adaptable to a wide range of climates.
Care Guide
1. Planting
- Sunlight: ‘Desert Plains’ thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily).
- Soil: It prefers moist, well-drained soil but can tolerate average to dry conditions once established.
- Planting Time: The best time to plant is in late spring or early summer.
2. Watering
- Newly Planted: Water regularly until the plant is established.
- Established Plants: Once established, it’s fairly drought-tolerant. Water occasionally during prolonged dry spells to promote better flowering and color.
3. Fertilizing
- ‘Desert Plains’ generally doesn’t need much fertilizer. If you want to give it a boost, apply a light amount of all-purpose fertilizer in the spring.
4. Pruning
- Cut back the foliage to about 6 inches in early spring before new growth begins. This helps keep the plant looking tidy.
5. Mulching
- Mulching isn’t essential, but a light layer of mulch can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
6. Pests and Diseases
- ‘Desert Plains’ is relatively pest and disease-resistant. Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids or spider mites.
Additional Tips
- Fall Color: The foliage turns beautiful shades of red, orange, and gold in the fall.
- Winter Interest: You can leave the dried plumes standing over winter for visual interest.
- Deer Resistant: ‘Desert Plains’ is generally deer-resistant.
- Container Growing: It can be grown in containers, but make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate its mature size.
