Deschampsia cespitosa 'Goldtau'

Deschampsia cespitosa is a spectacular fountain-shaped grass, bearing densely tufted evergreen foliage, from which tall sprays of silver-tinted purple flowerheads appear in summer. It's a fantastic choice for growing between shrubs and perennials in ornamental borders, and is a good option for a wildflower meadow. The seedheads persist well into winter and become bronze-brown with age – they work well in dried winter flower arrangements.
