Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Grows best in a moist, well-drained soil, in full sun to light shade. If planted in too much shade this grass will not flourish and may not flower.

This cultivar is apparently difficult to grow.

Additional Notes about Dwarf Fountain Grass:

Warm Season Grasses: These grasses are much slower starting in the spring. They do not push new growth until temperatures warm in early to midsummer. They flower later in the summer or fall with most blooms remaining into the winter. Most warm season grasses tolerate heat, humidity and drought; some even thrive in these conditions.

Originated as a sport of Pennisetum 'Hameln.'
