About this plant
A useful grass for ground cover and gap filling in borders. Its mop of fine narrow green leaves flop over creating informal tufts, from which appear brown flowers on short stems in summer. Growing to a height/spread of 15cm x 30cm, it's perfect for small gardens. It also helps to soften the hard edges of a pathway or patio.
