Deschampsia cespitosa 'Goldschlier'

Goldschlier translates as Golden Veil. One of the loveliest for effect, either grouped in a bay among shrubs, or as a specimen rising above lower plants. It forms large dense tussocks of narrow arching green leaves. By midsummer many tall flower stems rise well above the foliage carrying large airy plumes of tiny silver-green flowers. Gradually flowers and stems turn bright straw-yellow, creating a golden veil. Needs retentive soil in sun.
