Deschampsia cespitosa ‘AmiLime’, commonly known as Tufted Hair Grass, is an elegant perennial grass that brings a touch of softness and movement to any garden setting. This variety is distinguished by its soft, lime-green foliage and airy, delicate flower plumes that rise above the clump-forming base. The flowers appear in mid to late summer, transitioning from a shimmering green to a golden hue as they mature, creating a dynamic display throughout the growing season.

‘AmiLime’ is incredibly versatile and well-suited to a variety of garden designs, including borders, wildflower meadows, and contemporary landscapes. Its fine texture and subtle colour make it an excellent companion for other perennials and shrubs. It also performs well in containers, adding height and texture to patios and terraces.

This grass is chosen for its adaptability and ease of maintenance. It thrives in both full sun and partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil types, including those that are occasionally wet. ‘AmiLime’ is also prized for its year-round interest, with its foliage providing structure and its seed heads offering winter interest.

Plant Care Guide

Deschampsia cespitosa ‘AmiLime’ prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is relatively low-maintenance once established, requiring regular watering during dry periods to keep the soil moist. In late winter or early spring, cut back the old foliage to make way for new growth. This grass is hardy and can tolerate a range of conditions, making it an excellent choice for various garden settings.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
