Deschampsia caespitosa (Poaceae)

Tufted hair grass,   tussock grass

This is a very attractive ornamental grass forming dense green clumps of arching slender leaves. Liking a sunny or slightly shaded moist spot, it bears graceful nodding panicles of silvery or purplish flowers that make useful additions, fresh or dried, to flower arrangements. Useful as an accent plant but especially beautiful in mass, forming huge sweeping clouds of flowers that change colour over the season.
Ht. 60cm - 1.6m. Very hardy
