Description
Nassella tenuissima is a semi evergreen grass with narrow bright green leaves. It is easy to grow with feathery green – white panicles, from May – September which fade to a buff through the summer. It is ideal to plant in a gravel garden or a sunny spot at the front of a border, where it will provide lovely structure and form all year round. A perfect companion with other grasses, and also blends well with perennial flowering plants or shrubs.
