Like the Aurora Borealis, a multitude of shimmering colors are unveiled on this ornamental grass. Slender, slightly arching blades of green, cream, and gold tipped in pink mature to golden tones. The show continues in early summer with airy clouds of flowing panicles rising above the grassy tuft in gold, silver, purple and green hues. Stunning.
Deschampsia is beautiful planted in mass. The blooms produce a delicate airy mass of subtle colors. The common name Tufted Hair Grass perfectly describes the hair-like blades which grow in neatly rounded mounds.
