Koeleria argentea
Silver hairgrass, scientific name Koeleria argentea, is a low growing, cool season perennial grass. The finely-textured blades are olive green in color and are covered in fine silver hairs. Silver hairgrass is hardy in USDA zones 3 to 8 and prefers full sun to light shade, and moist soil. It blooms late spring to mid summer with showy panicles of spikelets that are attractive to pollinators. It is low maintenance and can even tolerate mowing. Silver hairgrass is an excellent choice for rock gardens, xeriscapes, and naturalized areas.

watering
Silver hairgrass (Koeleria argentea) needs to be watered once or twice a week, with enough water to thoroughly moisten the soil. In the fall, it should be watered once every 2 weeks to make sure the soil remains slightly moist, but not soggy. In the winter, it may need a little supplemental watering, but generally no more than once every 3 weeks. It's also important to note that silver hairgrass should never be allowed to dry out completely.
sunlight
Silver hairgrass is a plant species that thrives in both full sun and partial shade. It prefers 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day during its growing season, when temperatures range from 55 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. In warmer climates, the plant may need protection from the hot afternoon sun. Silver hairgrass is a cold-hardy plant and can survive temperatures down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. In cooler climates, it can tolerate full sun for the entire day.
