Gold Dew Tufted Hair Grass

Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Goldtau’ (Gold Dew Tufted Hair Grass) is a colorful, fine textured native grass loved for its profuse display of misty, golden flowers and attractive seed heads that hold through winter.  It grows and flowers best in cold climates and is not a good choice for the southern-most third of the US with hot, humid summers. ‘Goldtau’ is great for massing (large groups of the plant) and planted behind and around tall summer blooming perennials like Phlox paniculata, Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium) and Bee Balm (Monarda).
