Other: Melica is a perennial bunchgrass native to Europe & North Africa. It has a neat upright habit, ideal for borders, containers, or areas needing a more cultivated look. The grass features narrow, blue-green leaves. Fuzzy white flowers bloom on spikes above the leaves from spring to summer, turning into silky, glistening shades of antiqued white & silver in the fall. These seed heads provide visual interest throughout the winter and are excellent for both fresh cut flower arrangements and as dried seed spikes.
