About This Plant

A cool season, ornamental grass, Bottlebrush Grass can add interest and texture to a shady garden or woodland area. It grows actively when soil temperatures are cool, and may go dormant during hot summer months. It grows wide, feathered seedheads that give the plant its common name, as it resembles a bottlebrush.
