American Meadows Tufted Hair Grass

Yes, it is one of the few ornamental grasses that thrives in partial sun to partial shade. It performs best in areas that receive dappled light or morning sun with afternoon shade.

It is very low maintenance. The only significant task is cutting back the old foliage in early spring before new growth emerges to keep the plant looking tidy.

Tufted Hair Grass is considered deer and rabbit resistant. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, it is generally not a preferred food source for them.

The delicate purple flower plumes that appear in late summer and fall will mature into a tawny gold color. These plumes persist through the winter, adding texture and structure to your garden even when other plants have gone dormant.

While it prefers average, well-drained soil, it does require moderate moisture to thrive. It is not a bog plant, so avoid areas that stay constantly waterlogged or swampy.

Since Tufted Hair Grass has a mature spread of 12 to 24 inches, you should space them about 18 to 24 inches apart if you want them to eventually grow together into a solid, mounded mass.
