Deschampsia cespitosa 'Goldtau' 22W48 Tufted Hair Grass U0-
Deschampsia cespitosa 'Goldtau' 22W48 Tufted Hair Grass U0- (Mediterranean) Tufted Hair Grass, Mature plant size: 1x1ft., distinctive long-lasting yellow-green flowers., USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed U0 for 191 DAYS (Bluestone). Planted in 2022.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Deschampsia cespitosa, commonly called tufted hair grass, is a clump-forming, cool season grass which is often grown as an ornamental. It typically forms a low, dense tussock (to 16" tall) of very thin (1/5" wide), arching, flat to inrolled, dark green grass blades (to 2' long). Numerous flower stems rise in summer from the foliage mound to a height of 3' bearing wide, airy panicles (to 20" long) of tiny, variably-colored flowers (tones of gold, silver, purple and green) which form a cloud over the foliage that is particularly attractive when backlit. Flower panicles turn yellowish-tan after bloom as the seed ripens and may remain attractive through much of the winter. One of the few ornamental grasses that grows well in shade.
Digging Dog Nursery: Defined by narrow arching deep green foliage, a winsome sturdy mound propels emerald-hued stems, exploding into sheer sprays of distinctive long-lasting yellow-green flowers. The lithe inflorescences exhibit warm bronze tones when mature and provide an enticing winter presence. Smaller and more compact than other cespitosa species, this undemanding, all-purpose grass develops a dense semievergreen habit that can be grouped along a pathway or sited among Echinops ‘Blue Glow’ and Phygelius ‘Peach Trombone’.
Blooms July–October
Size: 12" – 2' 0" high x 12" wide.
Hardy to zone 4.
