Eriophorum vaginatum
COTTON GRASS
- Unit price
- / per
This grass is part of the sedge family and does well in acidic, boggy areas. The flower head will grow well above the leaves of the main plant, leaving a tuft that resembles cotton. This plant grows in a clumping habit, though can spread, making more clumps.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Height: 40cm, 16"
Location: Sun
Seeds per packet: 25
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
