Stipa arundinacea
(Syn. Anemanthele lessoniana)
“New Zealand Wind Grass”
Loved by garden designers, & so popular on the West Coast, this is THE GRASS to know & grow in USDA zones 8-10. Fast growing to form a dense 3’x3’ always-glowing focal point, you’ll admire its gorgeous, slender, & arching olive, amber, & gold foliage. Carefree & long lived, its great just about anywhere you plant it - foreground, background, anywhere you desire a low maintenance textural subject. A wonderful sight massed on a hillside, it can be grown in large containers too. Not fussy about soil, & if you cut it back to about 8”-12” in Winter it’ll stay picture perfect every year.
