A Knoll Gardens selection of the European native snowy wood rush, Luzula nivea, which is an introduced species to the UK and from which Snowflake was selected for its sparkling bright white flowers. Snowflake produces slowly increasing mounds of hairy wide green leaves and dense clusters of early season bright white flowers. Very effective en masse. Perhaps ideal in partial shade in a range of soils from damp to reasonably dry, but can also tolerate a fairly open and sunny position if soil not too dry. Height; 50cm – 60cm.

Description
These ornamental grasses are evergreen and spring flowering.
Once flowering has finished the old flower stems as well as the foliage of this luzula can look rather tired and brown. Cutting back all the old growth to within an inch or so of the ground after flowering will encourage a new sheaf of fresh green foliage that will then last until the same time next year.
