Deschampsia cespitosa
Choose Tufted Hair Grass if you want a soft, cool-season clump for damp borders, edging, or light shade; the airy early-summer seedheads are the reason to buy it. The tradeoff: it will not give you bold color or screening.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives borders a soft, fine texture, but it is more subtle than showy. |
| Growth Rate | B- | It fills in at a steady pace without acting like a fast-spreading groundcover. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Plan on a seasonal cutback and some light cleanup after the seedheads age. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother ornamental grasses; the bladed foliage is not a favorite, though hungry deer may nip tender new growth. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | Its clumping habit makes it easier to place near paths, patios, and smaller beds. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a texture grass, not a plant for blocking views. |
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Tufted Hair Grass where the customer wants soft texture, not a statement grass. Keep it out of hot, dry trouble spots and it makes much more sense.

No, it is a clumping grass rather than a runner.
It can handle light shade better than many ornamental grasses.
Cut back old foliage before fresh spring growth gets going.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
