Deschampsia

The tussock grasses we grow tend to make evergreen, low rounded hummocks of neat foliage, with airy branching heads of small spikelets, providing a sparkling show. Although around 40 species across the world, the cultivated forms are derived from our native hair-grasses, D. cespitosa and D. flexuosa. Generally growing in meadows, woodland glades and  mixed forests.
