Description

Arizona Cottontop is a beautiful grass with long whitish hairs that give it a "cottony" appearance. Numerous leaves surround the 3' tall and 1.5' wide culms which bear attractive white flowers in the summer to early fall. Irrigate every 2-3 weeks, after the grass is established, especially during summer. This grass is strongly allergenic for some people.
