Golden Dew Tufted Hair Grass

‘Goldtau,’ meaning “golden dew,” is an especially graceful selection of tufted hair grass (Deschampsia cespitosa). Fine evergreen to semi-evergreen foliage forms a compact clump, while delicate flower panicles rise overhead in early summer, beginning chartreuse and silvery green before gradually developing warm bronze and gold tones.

The cultivar performs best in cooler climates with medium to moist soil. Full sun encourages abundant flowering where summers are moderate; in hotter regions, partial shade and consistent moisture are preferable.

• Provide medium to moist, well-drained soil and protect from excessive summer heat and drought.
• Cut old foliage and flower stems back in late winter before new growth begins.
