5 X Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis Parvula) Live Aquarium Plants
This listing is for:
- Plant/Stems Included: 5 Clumps
- Size: Nickel Size Root Ball
A low-growing Eleocharis variety – Dwarf Hairgrass – forms runners close to the parent plant. It is most effective when planted in small bunches near each other, gradually forming a solid mass. Ideal as a foreground plant in both large and small aquariums.
Also known as Eleocharis sp. ‘Mini’ or Dwarf Hairgrass ‘Mini’ (DHGM), this variety grows to only 3–6 cm in height, making it smaller than the original Eleocharis parvula. For faster growth and quicker carpeting, the dry start method (DSM) is recommended.

Wanda Bond –
The dwarf hairgrass arrived quickly and looked healthy. I planted them in small groups and within a few weeks they started spreading nicely. The growth is slow but steady, and they add a nice green texture to the front of my tank.
Nathan Hamilton –
I used the dry start method as suggested and saw faster growth than expected. The plants are compact and stay close to the substrate. Works well in a 20-gallon tank as a foreground layer.
Neil Ellison –
Very satisfied with the quality and size of the clumps. They are easy to plant and have formed a solid carpet in about six weeks. Perfect for a low-maintenance aquarium setup.
Paul Harris –
The plant height is smaller than expected, which is great for a tight foreground. I planted them in groups and they spread naturally without needing much trimming.

The instructions were clear and the plants were well packed. After a month, the carpeting is visible and the tank looks much more natural and balanced.
