Snow Grass – Beautiful blue-grey foliage in a tidy form
Snow Grass ‘Snow Baby’ is a compact dwarf selection of Australia’s native Snow Grass, prized for its fine blue-grey foliage, neat mounding habit and exceptional drought tolerance. Smaller and tidier than the species, this attractive ornamental grass is perfect for Melbourne gardens where year-round texture, soft movement and low-maintenance performance are desired in borders, mass plantings, rockeries and contemporary landscapes.
