Lagurus ovatus is an annual ornamental grass with soft, oval flower heads. These compact, bristly heads change from pale green to cream as they mature and remain useful in dried arrangements.
Botanical characteristics
The tufted plant prefers sun and drainage; prolonged wetness can cause root rot. Returning seedlings do not make it a perennial.
Rubbed and half-rubbed seed
Half-rubbed Seeds and Rubbed Seeds distinguish preparation labels in the bulk seed range. These are article specifications rather than separate botanical varieties or different flower-head colours.
