Bring charm and movement to your garden with Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Tiny Twinkler', a compact ornamental grass that offers a delightful, year-round presence. This dwarf fountain grass features graceful, arching foliage with soft, green blades that give way to feathery, silvery-cream flower spikes in late summer and autumn. The delicate blooms gently sway in the breeze, above the foliage, creating a shimmering, twinkling effect. 'Tiny Twinkler' is perfect for smaller gardens, containers, or as an elegant border plant. Its compact size, about 40cm height and spread, ensures it fits seamlessly into any garden design, whether contemporary or traditional. This drought-tolerant grass thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring minimal care to maintain its beauty. Providing shelter for butterflies and ladybirds from harsh weather and predators, 'Tiny Twinkler' adds ecological benefits alongside its stunning appearance. Enhance your garden with this easy-to-grow, low-maintenance, winter hardy, ornamental grass.
