@gardengimp love it! Fluffs up like a cloud 😍 might have to invest in some 😋 you’d like cloud grass I think (agrostis nebulosa) as it’s similar to this but more twinkly, if that makes sense 😂

Cataloging #Deschampsia Goldschleier. Awkward to photograph at this stage, I'm hoping they'll get bushier next year. Google it, you'll see what I mean! #gimpsfrontgarden #grass #ornamentalgrass

A lovely one good choice I've been after the goldtau one for ages but never seen it at a flower show 👌

@keely and Stan the grass man has retired, or will have by the next show ☹️ I got this from Scunthorpe grass nursery, lovely knowledgable older couple run it there. I go as an incentive when I visit the steelworks from time to time.
