Deschampsia cespitosa 'Goldschleier' Golden Veil
Tufted Hairgrass
Currently unavailable
A cool season grass with blades of vibrant green foliage. In early summer, stalks of silvery green, airy seed heads rise twice the height of the foliage and turn into a veil of creamy gold by late summer. Does best with consistent moisture and full sun but tolerates any type of soil. Does well to soften borders or edges or make a background for low growing perennials.
