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.

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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
