Description
Harpochloa falx 'Compact Black' FREEDA® (Caterpillar Grass) is a distinctive ‘tussock’ (tight clump-forming) grass with flowers that unfurl above the foliage, forming playful loops that turn into fuzzy-looking eyebrows. Evergreen needle-like grass turns to an impressive dark cocoa color in winter, adding year-round visual interest.
Native to South Africa, FREEDA® Caterpillar Grass is ideal for the North American steppe region. It is drought-tolerant and thrives in full to partial sun with average to well-draining soil. Low maintenance and easy to grow, Harpochloa falx requires very little water once established and is resistant to pests and disease. Cut back foliage at the end of winter.
When planted individually, FREEDA®’s rounded form makes a handsome specimen plant. Planting in groups provides structure and the grassy clumps are particularly striking when interspersed with other garden perennials. Pairs well with Succulents, Kniphofia, Artemisia and Partridge Feather.

As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
