Hare’s-tail Cottongrass

Eriophorum vaginatum

Botanical watercolour painting of hare’s-tail cottongrass (Eriophorum vaginatum) by Claire Hamilton
cottongrass framed

One of the most striking sights on Scotland’s moorland in early summer, Hare’s-tail Cottongrass transforms stretches of dark, peaty hillside with its distinctive white seed heads.

This painting was created as part of my final-year project for the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Diploma in Botanical Illustration, exploring the character and botanical detail of Scotland’s wild plants.
