Calamagrostis brachytricha
Description:
A fabulous mid sized grass which brings softness and movement to the garden. It has a clump-forming, upright shape with gently arching leaves and fluffy bottle brush seedheads from late summer, persisting into winter. It’s suitable for growing in sun and partial shade, although it has a more upright habit when grown in full sun. This grass looks fabulous when mixed with herbaceous perennials, is great for winter interest and does not self seed.
Aftercare: Cut back old growth in spring as new green foliage starts to emerge.
