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 Grass

The 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.

Customer Comment:

“I ordered three Kniphofias and a Salvia a little over a week ago, and received them today. E-mail response to my web order was prompt and provided all the information I needed. The Kniphofias are nice, healthy, generous divisions. The Salvia is…good value for the price and very healthy.”
