• Other Features: the flowerspikes are great for adding to dried arrangements

A lovely little ornamental annual grass which produces light and airy clusters of tiny flowers throughout summer. As the name suggests these flower clusters look like soft nebulous clouds that billow from the bed creating pockets of soft movement. Try mixing it with Astrantias or Dianthus for a meadow-style planting effect. It will self seed when settled into the right spot.

• Garden care: Avoid cutting back the flower stems if you want them to set seed. Alternatively the flowers make long lasting additions to dried arrangements.
