Prices peak in spring when demand is highest. Fall clearance offers 15-30% savings. Hameln is one of the most popular fountain grass cultivars, so availability is usually good.
Pro tip: Buy in fall for the best deals. Fall-planted fountain grass establishes stronger root systems over winter and fills out faster the following spring.
