    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Tolerant of both wet & dry soils, this fine textured, New Zealand grass is tough, evergreen & fast growing. The narrow, bright green, arching leaves form a 3’ x 3’ attractive, upright clump. Erect seed spikes appear in mid-Summer. An excellent choice for a waterside grass. Rich soil is best.
