silver tussock grass
Graceful clumping green grass with bronzed tint to foliage and arching summer flowerheads. Rake out old leaves annually to keep looking lush.

Water this plant regularly, when the top inch or so of soil feels dry. If you establish this pattern over several years, then you can cut back to watering every week or two in dry weather. Use drippers, emitters, or a slow stream of water so that it doesn't run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot. Will need less water in foggy marine influence areas. | |

Interés especial
A great substitute for the aggressively invasive Nassella tenuissima, or Mexican feather grass. Silver tussock grass looks best planted in sweeping groups with stones or larger leafed plants, such as agave, for contrast.
