Wavy Hair Grass
Deschampsia flexuosa
Wavy Hair Grass is a versatile and low-maintenance choice for landscapes. With fine-textured foliage, it forms an upright, short clump, reaching only one foot in height. Come summer, ethereal clouds of airy seedheads rise above the leaves. They sway delicately in the wind, adding graceful movement to the garden all season long. Keep this grass standing overwinter: in mild years, the foliage can stay green, bringing some welcome cheer to a winter landscape.
