Our national attention is turning to climate change. All the data say it's crunch time, and that plants are essential for building communities that can withstand these changes. A 2016 report from the EPA explored ways green infrastructure can improve community resiliency. Experts and stakeholders outlined strategies to help communities prepare for and mitigate the effects of climate change. Strategies included managing flood risk, reducing urban heat island effects, and decreasing the energy needed to manage water. Ornamental grasses and sedges can be part of the answer in all the case studies cited in the EPA report. Grasses and sedges anchor the plantings that help clean our water, reduce flooding, and lessen the effects of rising temperatures. Let's work towards a better environment. Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln'. Dwarf Fountain Grass packs great qualities into a handsome plant. Perhaps that is why it’s a best seller year after year. It is the right size to fit many landscapes, it grows in a nifty two-foot fountain shape, and it produces pretty bottlebrush blooms. Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’ also requires little maintenance and thrives in full sun and dry conditions. When planted in sweeps, its narrow stalks topped with blooms form a sea of motion. Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’ transforms ordinary edges into lush borders. It works well as filler for large areas or as a specimen in small patios. This ornamental grass is also lovely in decorative containers, either as the main attraction or combined with contrasting plants.
