Maybe a dumb question about Hairgrass..

OK, so how does one tell the difference between Eleocharis parvula and Eleocharis acicularis? Do I just have to wait and see how tall it gets?

I bought it a while ago and for the life of me I can't remember which one it is..

Thanks guys,
Steve

Yeah they look pretty similar. I guess if it starts growing tall then your outa luck

Yea, it's mostly a height thing. If you bought it at a pet store it's most likely parvula.
