Scirpus (Isolepsis) cernua - Fiber Optic Grass

Description

Native to almost the whole coast of California, as well as moist environments on every continent, Fiber Optic Grass is a charming little perennial for a container or pond edge. So named for its thin wiry blades topped with a small whitish cluster of flowers, it stays under a foot tall, and about as wide. Best in light shade away from the coast, and looks good year round.
