      Found in abundance on acid peat on raised and blanket bogs. The plant is fairly inconspicuous in flower, but in fruit it produced plumes of white cotton-like hairs which give the plant its common name. There are two or more fruiting heads per plant, which distinguishes it from the other common species, the Hare's-tail cottongrass (<em>Eriophorum vaginatum</em>).

      If you go over the moors on the M62 Motorway from Manchester to Yorkshire in July/August you might notice large patches of off-white all over Moss Moor to the South. This is cotton-grass flowering with thousands of plants. It loves peaty country like these moors and is an indication of soggy, acid country.
