Fiber Optic Grass

About this product

Fiber Optic Grass (Isolepis cernua) is a soft, fine-textured ornamental grass whose slender green blades arch outward and tip with tiny cream flower spikes that shimmer like lit fiber optics. Its fountain-like, mounding habit adds motion and whimsy to mixed containers, and it thrives in consistently moist conditions where many grasses struggle. Sold in a case of 10 P45 pots, it's a fast-moving spring impulse item with strong retail shelf appeal.
