Plant details
Sometimes known as 'Golden Dew', this spectacular fountain-shaped grass produces a tall spray of blonde flower-heads that erupt from a compact tuft of evergreen foliage at the base of the plant. The seed-heads persist well into winter turning bronze-brown . The dried flower stalks are a valuable addition to winter flower arrangements, but also look very attractive in the garden, especially when caught by hoar frost. It prefers light shade, so is useful for growing in borders between shrubs and perennials, and also looks good teamed with foliage plants such as hostas and hardy ferns.
