Fiber-Optics grass is a native marginal semi-evergreen ornamental grass with fine, hair-like bright green foliage that grows in upright clumps that gracefully droop as they mature. A single tiny white flower blooms at the end of every leaf tip throughout summer. Prefers full sun and moist soil but can tolerate up to 2" standing water. Treat as an annual if winter temps drop below 20.
