Deschampsia caespitosa - 4in

Tufted Hairgrass, is a robust, clump-forming perennial grass with narrow, evergreen foliage. Airy panicles of purplish green florets with hair-like awns gracefully rise 2-3 feet above the dense tussocks. As the season progresses, the florets mature into a buff color, maintaining interest throughout winter. This cool-season grass thrives in moist or wet sites, making it ideal for stabilizing disturbed areas, streambanks, and shorelines. The attractive florets, with their light and airy quality, create a striking display through summer and autumn. With a height of 2-4 feet and a spread of 1-2 feet, it forms sod-like patches with deep root systems. Its adaptability to various soil types, including alkaline pH and moderate salinity, makes it a versatile addition to shade gardens, meadow gardens, perennial borders, and wildlife habitats. Deadheading in autumn prevents unwanted self-seeding, ensuring a low-maintenance yet charming landscape.
