Overview

A colourful ornamental grass. A low-growing tufted decorative grass, which looks superb planted in bold drifts in a gravel garden or potted into a container. The narrow blue-green to grey-blue foliage adds interest all year round and, purple-flushed summer flower spikes, turning buff as they age make a wonderful combination. Prefers a sunny, well-drained spot over the winter where its low-maintenance architectural form can be appreciated.

Care guide

Ensure good drainage around the plant or within a pot to ensure the effects of wet winter conditions are reduced. Comb through the plant with your fingers in winter to remove dead foliage. Container-grown specimens should be watered well when they are establishing. Relatively short-lived in a single clump (3-5 years), plants need replacing or dividing every few years to restore vigour and form.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
