View Deschampsia Cespitosa Winter Pics. We love using deschampsia cespitosa as a transitional plant, bridging the gap between a full sun site to a shadier site in the garden in sweeps and masses. It typically forms a low, dense tussock (to 16 tall) of very thin (1/5 wide), arching, flat to inrolled, dark green grass blades (to 2' long).

Gold dew tufted hair grass (deschampsia cespitosa 'goldtau') is a colorful, fine textured native grass loved for its profuse display of misty, golden flowers and attractive seed heads that hold through winter.

This is a fairly small grass. Cut old foliage to the ground in late winter before new growth starts. It typically forms a low, dense tussock (to 16 inches tall) of very thin (1/2 inch wide. An easy to grow, extremely cold hardy, ornamental grass for sunny to shaded garden beds and woodland settings.
