Tufted hairgrass (deschampsia cespitosa)

Tufted Hairgrass (Deschampsia cespitosa) is a graceful, shade-tolerant ornamental grass known for its delicate texture and soft, airy appearance. Reaching a height of 2 to 3 feet, this clump-forming grass produces fine green blades topped with wispy, golden seed heads that shimmer in the breeze from mid-summer through fall. Thriving in partial to full shade, Tufted Hairgrass adds a touch of elegance to shaded garden beds, woodland borders, and moist areas. This low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly grass also attracts birds and provides beautiful winter interest, making it a versatile and striking addition to any shaded landscape.
