Plant Type: Grasses, Perennials

Highly ornamental, Tufted Hairgrass has fine hair-like flowers rising 2 – 3 feet above neatly rounded, dense tussocks. The grass emerges green and turns gold late in the season, keeping good color and form for winter interest. This clump-forming cool-season grass is useful for stabilizing disturbed sites, and streambanks. An excellent shade garden grass, Deschampsia cespitosa is attractive when mixed with ferns.
