Expectations:
Keep moist, likes shade. This is a more compact form of tufted hair grass, suitable, I hope for a big pot.

Experiences:
I put this in a terra-cotta pot in the corner by the garage and fence, behind the sumacs. Something interesting to fill that corner that can take shade, and this fluffy grass can grow in shade. It has a low mounding habit.

So far in its first years it is dark green but hasn't established any presence yet or flowered.

It never did much and got swamped by the sumacs in the far corner, so I took it out in 2024.
