Melica altissima 'Alba'
Siberian melic
An unassuming but beautiful grass that produces its airy sprays of white, grain-like flowers on slender stems that catch the slightest breeze. It flowers earlier than many of the other ornamental grasses and it blends effortlessly with many different perennials and ferns. Tactile as well as attractive, it will add softness to the planting scheme.
