Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' (Dwarf Fountain Grass) Ajuga reptans Plant in well drained soil'Hameln' is almost identical to P. alopecuroides, but is a bit more compact, blooms a little earlier beginning in July, and is shorter in height at 18 24" tall. Its tassels emerge rosy and turn a coppery tan. Keep in mind that all the Fountain Grasses are tuft or mound growers, so they are not invasive.
