Overview

Jewelled beads of dew will adorn this dainty, airy grass, which forms festoons of fibre optic-like panicles of pale green followed by decorative purple seed heads. Great for the front of a border where the hazy, flowering sprinkle will complement brightly coloured perennials, such as Michaelmas daisy, beyond. 'Sparkling Fountain' dries brilliantly, too, making this 'Witch Grass' a great annual foliage plant for cut flower displays. Growing instructions: Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost in pots or trays and cover with a thin layer of sieved compost. Germination takes around a week, once large enough to handle, transplant seedlings (in small clumps) into pots of multi-purpose compost. Move the established seedling outside (once acclimatised) and the risk of frosts has passed. Sow: February to April (under glass) or April to May (direct) Flowering: August to October
