Eleocharis Pusilla

The Dwarf Hairgrass, also known as Eleocharis acicularis ‘Mini’, Eleocharis sp. “Belem”, or Eleocharis pusilla, likely originates from Belém, Brazil. It is smaller than the common Eleocharis acicularis and “Eleocharis parvula”. Popular in aquascaping, its shoots can reach 10 cm but can be maintained at a height of 3-6 cm with occasional trimming. The fine, light green shoots grow in an arched manner from thin underground runners, forming a dense, fresh green lawn.
