Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

This clumping, grass-like perennial has small pink flowers that resemble pom poms that bloom in spring and summer. This cute flower can be used at the edge of walkways and pavers as it doesn't do well with foot traffic. Grows 6 to 12 inches tall and wide.
