Wangenheimia lima | Vulcan Grass | Ornamental Grass Seeds

Specifically raised for the professional flower and ornamental market, Wangenheimia lima is a distinctive annual grass valued for its unusual, architectural seed heads. The flattened flower spikes form a striking pattern often compared to a small fish skeleton, giving this grass a unique, modern character.

Equally effective fresh or dried, Vulcan Grass is long-lasting and highly decorative, making it ideal for naturalistic borders, meadow-style plantings, and contemporary floral arrangements. Easy to grow and low maintenance, it performs best when sown directly but can also be grown in containers.
