    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This pretty dwarf grass is known for its lovely bamboo-like foliage. This cultivar is unique in that has a more diminutive habit, reaching only 18-24" tall. Perfect for water-wise gardens as it has suburb drought tolerance once established, however it is much lusher when grown in richer conditions. This upright growing grass does not flop over and the oat-like seeds heads are quite decorative; a salt-tolerant plant. S-PSh/M-D
