Gold Dew Tufted Hair Grass
Best low-maintenance native grass for year-round garden texture and pollinator support.
This ornamental grass brings a sophisticated, golden texture to the garden that persists long after the first frost. It demands almost nothing in terms of maintenance, though you sacrifice a fast-growing groundcover for a more deliberate, architectural aesthetic that thrives in cooler, shadier corners.
