Description
Great wood rush ‘Solar flair’ is an attractive evergreen grass which is a golden leaved cultivar of the native Luzula sylvatica. The native Great wood rush is found as ground cover in woodlands and the cultivar ‘Solar flair’ enjoys a very similar habitat. The thick, glossy leaves intertwine and form clumps, slowly reaching 1m x 1m. This perennial grass will grow in most soils, preferring damp conditions in shade, dappled shade or even sun, being easy to grow and free from most pests and diseases. There are small brown flowers in May – June, which are formed on long stalks, but it is the striking foliage of the Great wood rush that makes it a stand out plant for the wildlife garden.
