Luzula nivea, also known as snow grass, is an evergreen, winter-hardy plant that adds a refined touch to your garden. Its distinctive fuzzy, silver-tinged leaves create a fresh, soft atmosphere year-round. This plant is ideal for shaded areas, rock gardens, or as ground cover in borders. Luzula nivea grows in a compact, bushy form, forming a dense mat that provides low-maintenance, attractive ground coverage. Small, subtle flowers appear in spring, adding a touch of charm. The silver sheen of its leaves continues to beautify the garden, even in winter, making this plant visually interesting throughout the year.
Please note: Plants are living products and may therefore differ from the photo and description. Minor natural imperfections can occur. These often recover in your garden.
