Faits intéressants
Tufted Hairgrass is attractive, well behaved, and good for home gardens. It is a dense, clump forming, cool season species that actively grows in the spring and fall when soil temperature is cool. Because of the dense tufts of leaves and the light airy spray of flower stems this species is very attractive in a mass planting or as a matrix species. Seeds of this species are slow to germinate.
