Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Pixie Fountain’ adds lightness and movement to planting schemes, blending equally well in naturalistic designs or softening the lines of contemporary landscaping. Ultimate height: 60cm (24in). Ultimate spread: 45cm (18in).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Deschampsia cespitosa performs best in moist but well-drained soil and will tolerate a range of conditions, including poorer ground once established. It grows well in full sun or light shade, with the best flowering often in brighter positions. Keep soil consistently moist during dry spells, particularly in its first season. In late winter, cut back old foliage to ground level to allow fresh growth to emerge cleanly in spring. This ornamental grass is hardy and low-maintenance, forming neat, arching clumps that benefit from occasional division every few years to maintain vigour. It suits both naturalistic planting and more formal garden schemes.
