Snowflake Woodrush Ornamental Grasses (Luzula Nivea)

Snowflake Woodrush Ornamental Grasses Description

Snowflake Woodrush is a charming and versatile evergreen ornamental grass, ideal for shaded or woodland gardens. Known for its fine, arching foliage and delicate white, star shaped flowers, this grass adds a soft, elegant texture to garden landscapes. It forms neat clumps of dark green leaves, which retain their colour and structure throughout the year, providing continuous interest, even in winter. The small, white flowers appear in late spring to early summer, offering a delicate contrast to the surrounding greenery.

Pruning Advice

Cutting Back: In spring, it is helpful to remove any old, dead foliage before the new growth starts. This can be done by trimming the old leaves back to ground level using sharp scissors or garden shears. Doing so ensures that the fresh, new growth has space to develop and that the plant looks tidy.

No Heavy Pruning Needed: Luzula nivea does not require regular pruning beyond the annual spring tidy up. Simply remove any spent flowers after they have faded to maintain its neat appearance.

Divide if Needed: If the clumps become too large or start to look overcrowded, you can divide them in early spring or autumn to promote better air circulation and encourage healthy growth.

Further Information

Evergreen Appeal: As an evergreen, Luzula nivea provides year round visual interest, particularly in shady or woodland areas where other plants might struggle to thrive.

Low Maintenance: It is a relatively low maintenance plant, requiring minimal care once established. Its slow spreading nature makes it an excellent ground cover or edging plant.

Perfect for Shaded Areas: Ideal for damp, shady spots, Snowflake Woodrush excels where many other grasses fail, adding lush greenery and delicate flowers to areas with limited sunlight.

Attractive Foliage: The dark green, fine textured leaves remain neat throughout the year, creating a soft, airy feel in gardens.
