Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Golden Veil’

A delicate, airy ornamental grass forming fine, arching tufts of bright green foliage that turn softly golden as the season progresses. In early summer, it produces clouds of fine, shimmering flower panicles that catch the light beautifully, giving a soft, misty “veil” effect in the garden.
