Agrostis Ornamental Cloud Grass Seed

Agrostis Nebulous (Cloud Grass) - Cloud Grass, a species of bentgrass, forms a hazy mist in late summer when its delicate, tiny flowers spread out in all directions. This plant is often cultivated for its light delicate heads that are used dried in floristry.

The airy seed-heads resemble clouds or sea foam which make a great addition to any flower garden. The ornamental grass has its best display when next to course textured plants or along fence lines. Agrostis nebulosa is very useful to fill in those difficult transitions in the garden. When Cloud Grass is fully mature, it reaches approximately18 inches tall & 12 inches wide blooming all summer long. Native to Portugal & Spain, but will grow in the U.S. in USDA Zones 3 - 10 as an annual ornamental grass. The flowers are great for fresh or dried bouquet and will turn tan as the seed-heads head in to Fall.
