Description

A beautiful grass with thin stems hung with pale green flowers, which look like raindrops as they catch the light. Dries brilliantly too.

It's brilliant for arrangements in a dark room or a church. The drops act like mirrors and reflect the light. This will self-sow.

Care Tips

Plant in groups of 3 or more. Sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi (Rootgrow) into the base of the planting hole and water well after planting. Will self sow.
