Grass, Deschampsia c. 'Northern Lights'
DETAILS AND CARE
This compact, ornamental grass boasts a clumping habit and is cherished for its stunning variegated foliage. Hardy in Zones 4–9, it thrives in cool temperatures and prefers partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. The slender leaves feature striking cream, green, and pink hues, with a subtle blush intensifying during cooler fall weather, offering seasonal interest. Flowering occurs in summer, with delicate, airy panicles of silvery-purple blooms that dry to a golden hue, adding texture to the garden. This versatile plant reaches a height of 12–18 inches and serves as an excellent deer-resistant choice for borders, containers, or naturalized areas. It requires little maintenance and enhances landscapes with soft color and graceful movement.
