Plant Passport Registration Number: GB147173 Please read our notes before placing the order: 1. The pictures in this listing are examples of the available plant at maturity and do not indicate anything in regard to size of plant at the point of sale. You will receive an organically produced young plant grown in a 9cm pot for planting immediately or to grow on (pot removed, when possible, to reduce plastic waste) 2. Seasonal difference in plants: Please be aware if you are new to gardening, that the plants we supply are mostly herbaceous perennials and many go dormant in winter. You may receive what looks like an empty pot or piece of root. This will produce new growth in spring. 3. The date the Royal mail label is bought (tracking number added as sent against your orders) is the date your order is lined up for picking. It is likely to be put into the post a couple of days later. Thank you.D. cespitosa var. vivipara is a dense, tussock-forming, evergreen to semi-evergreen grass with rigid, leathery, linear, mid-green leaves and, in summer, erect stems bearing airy, arching panicles of silvery, purple flower spikelets aging pale golden-brown. Rather than seed, flowers are followed by young plantlets that droop to the ground and may take root.
Grow in well-drained to moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil in full sun or light shade. Prefers acid conditions. May be deciduous in the coldest areas of its growing range.
Prune back old stems to the ground in early spring before new growth resumes.
