Deschampsia (Tufted Hair Grass) at Digging Dog
Including Deschampsia cespitosa varieties Goldgehänge and Schottland
Deschampsia
Tufted Hair Grass
Wispy seed heads stretch in airy fans above finely cut, deep green tufted foliage. By planting Deschampsia in drifts, with a dark or solid background, its delicate, hazy quality is put to best effect. Try this one waterside, in a woodland setting, or as an accent in the perennial bed. The 50 species in this
genus are, or were, found primarily in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
Golden Tufted Hair GrassThe bright golden veil of nodding straw-colored flowers surely inspired this Deschampsia’s cultivar name. Dense forest green tussocks anchor slightly pendulous stems draped with fine textured, ethereal that guarantee a glowing performance especially when massed and set against dark-leafed woodies like Parrotia persica.
Blooms July–December. Size: 2'–3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4. Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Goldgehänge’ (g-0038) Each $7.00

Blooms July–December. Size: 3-1/2'–4' high x 2-1/2' wide; hardy to zone 4.
Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Schottland’ (g-0008) Each $7.00

Golden Tufted Hair GrassThis Karl Foerster innovation boasts small dreamy looking inflorescences, whose wide airy consortium sparkles in gold, silver and purplish shades. Topping abundant flowing panicles, they appear later than the species, mature to an amber color and linger most of the winter. Arching close-knit narrow blades, edged by in-rolled margins, compose the low growing emerald green tussock that makes a tidy verdant companion for Eryngium bourgatii and Aster asperulus.
Blooms July – December. Size: 2'–3' high x 2'–3' wide; hardy to zone 4. AVAILABLE LATE SPRING 2012 Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Tardiflora’ (G-0526) Each $7.75

Customer Comment:
“My plants arrived from Digging Dog yesterday: healthy, large, beautifully packed, and on time. From the website to the customer service to the arrival of these lovely grasses, this has been a very satisfying experience. Although website ordering is easy, I encourage you to call your order in to benefit from the friendly and knowledgeable staff.”
