Planting a

Ensure that the planting area has good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, as 'Hameln' Fountain Grass is not able to tolerate excessive moisture. Take into consideration the plant's mature size and provide enough space for it to grow without overcrowding neighboring plants. Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 inches (30 cm) with a shovel or garden fork, and add organic matter like compost or manure to improve fertility and drainage. Dig a hole that is slightly wider but not deeper than the plant's root ball, gently untangling bound roots if necessary. Place the plant in the center of the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is even with the surrounding soil. Fill the hole with soil, compacting it lightly to eliminate any air pockets. Water the newly planted 'Hameln' Fountain Grass thoroughly to ensure proper root-to-soil contact and to settle the soil.
