Couldn't load pickup availability
Sizes available: Landscape plugs, 6.00 ea or 10 for 48.00, mix and match okay
Basics: zones 3-8, 4-12" x 18-24", part sun to full shade, subtle, yellowish-green bloom in mid to late spring, the blooms and seed heads are charming and a bit chaotic, prefers some moisture and richness, but very adaptable as to soil type and drought tolerant in shade.
Common names: Hairy Woodrush
Origin/Distribution: Occurs in southern Canada and the central and eastern United Staes. Luzula acuminiata is native to Maine.
Habitat: wooded slopes, forest clearings, medium (mesic) to dry soils, part of the forest understory in mixed deciduous woodlands
More: This is an excellent and underused cool season rush that works well as part of a shady, low-growing matrix. It is pretty adorable, if chaotic, in bloom. I think it has ground cover (living mulch) potential as well. So far, it has been very adaptable and accommodating in the test gardens here at Honey Petal Plants. Deer resistant. Should seed in well if happy.
