Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Goldtau’, commonly known as Goldtau Tufted Hair Grass, is a graceful ornamental grass prized for its fine-textured green foliage and airy golden flower panicles that shimmer above the plant from early to mid-summer. Its delicate blooms create a soft, cloud-like effect that adds movement, texture, and elegance to the landscape. As the flowers mature, they develop warm golden hues that persist into fall, providing long-lasting seasonal interest.
This low-maintenance ornamental grass thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. More tolerant of cooler climates and light shade than many ornamental grasses, Goldtau Tufted Hair Grass is an excellent choice for woodland edges, rain gardens, cottage gardens, and naturalistic landscapes. Once established, it is adaptable, deer resistant, and easy to maintain, making it a dependable addition to a variety of landscape settings.
Perfect for landscape borders, mass plantings, foundation plantings, meadow gardens, and container gardens, Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Goldtau’ pairs beautifully with flowering perennials, ferns, hostas, and other ornamental grasses. Whether planted as a soft accent or in sweeping drifts, Goldtau Tufted Hair Grass delivers graceful texture, subtle color, and four-season beauty to residential and commercial landscapes.
