Wavy Hairgrass is an ornamental grass that tolerates poor soils and requires minimal care once established. It produces delicate, wispy seed heads that add texture to naturalized gardens and provide winter interest. This hardy grass self-seeds readily and works well in wildflower meadows or native plant gardens.
