Koeleria vallesiana 'Mountain Breeze' (30)ct Ellepots
Common name: Grass-Ornamental, Somerset Hair Grass.
Zones 3 to 8.
Full sun.
Plants reach 14 to 16 inches tall and 8 to 10 inches wide;
Clump forming, semi-evergreen habit.
Growth rate: Moderate, easy to grow, cool season ornamental grass.
Petite, thick clump of spiky textured, narrow, grey-blue to blue-green leaves are soft to the touch. Flowers are held in narrow, upright spikes high above the foliage from late spring to midsummer. The flowers emerge greenish yellow in color and then lighten to a straw color as they dry. This blue, cool season grass is a wonderful complement to both Festuca and Helictotrichon, falling between the two in height.
Koeleria vallesiana 'Mountain Breeze' grows easily in average, moist to moderately dry, well-drained soil. Plants may be short lived, but they self-sow seeds or can be propagated by division in spring.
Excellent as a border plant, container, dried flower or seed heads, mass plantings. Hair Grasses tend to bloom earlier than most other ornamental grasses, so they are useful for extending the season of interest. for shipment to CA |
