Looking for a unique and attractive addition to your garden? Look no further than Deschampsia cespitosa, also known as Tufted Hairgrass. This clump-forming, cool season grass is often grown as an ornamental, featuring low, dense tussocks of thin, arching dark green blades. In the summer, numerous flower stems rise from the foliage mound to a height of 3', bearing wide, airy panicles of tiny, variably-colored flowers. The resulting cloud of color is particularly stunning when backlit. Tufted Hairgrass can thrive in a variety of grasslands, although it prefers poorly drained soil, and can even grow at altitudes up to 4000 ft. Its unique upper leaf blade surface, which feels rough in one direction but smooth in the other, serves as a distinguishing feature. Don't miss out on the opportunity to add this beautiful wild plant to your collection!
