About capillaris Pitch Fork
capillaris Pitch Fork is our value-tier capillaris listing, named for the forked way its young growth branches rather than for a documented, separately registered cultivar. Like our numbered capillaris ranges, it’s a different growing batch of the same species, given a working name instead of a number.
It ships either as a single plant 1-2 inches tall, or as a small clump of 3 or more, at our lowest capillaris price. That makes it the easiest entry point into this species for a buyer who wants volume over size.
Capillaris is a fine, wiry, grass-like clumper. Even a single small plant at this size will branch and multiply with basic care, so the low starting size isn’t a limitation for a buyer planning to grow it out.
It’s well suited to bulk bins, workshops, or any program where price per plant matters more than arriving with an established clump.
Because it’s the most affordable capillaris we carry, it also pairs naturally with our pricier numbered ranges as a low-cost complement on the same shelf.
