Description

This perennial grass-like plant grows as a spreading clump of very thin, right green leaves to a height of 1'. Its tiny round seed heads dot the end of each leaf-like fertile stem. The plant does great in containers and will tolerate wet soils. It should receive sun to part shade with average watering. -Monterey Bay Nursery
