---------------------- : ----------------------

A large clumping perennial bunchgrass, native to the Mediterranean region, cultivated as an ornamental grass and used traditionally as a fibre for making mats, brooms, and twine. It forms a 1 metre tall and wide fountain shape with tall nodding silvery flower panicles. The flowers themselves are up to 60cm long and dance to the slightest breeze, giving it a very soft airy feel and adding movement to your garden. It is fully hardy to cold and loves a sunny position but will tolerate a slightly shady spot. A low maintenance grass for any garden and a good substitute for the banned Pampas grass some gardeners still want to plant. Very useful for creating biomass as well as shelter and habitat for wildlife.
