Birds Eating Grass Seed
Baumea articulata
Baumea articulata, commonly known as the Jointed Twig Rush, this is an attractive, NZ native grass grown for its aesthetics and ability to handle and colonise extremely wet soils. It forms a dense sward as it grows to 1.5 m tall, which provides a great habitat for frogs and water birds. New leaves emerge light green then age to dark green, and are complemented with brown flower heads through summer. Baumea articulata will happily grow in fresh, standing water (e.g., dams, swamps, creeks, and drainage areas) up to 1 m deep. This is a favoured plant among landscape designers constructing wetland areas.

Crocosmia Lucifer
Crocosmia Lucifer features amazing red flowers and lush foliage. The showy and long-lasting blooms are borne as clusters off slender stems in summer. They are complemented with lush, grass-like foliage which is held with a gentle arch. The flowers result in seedpods in autumn that are great for attracting birds. This bulbous plant typically grows to 60 cm tall and 50 cm wide, and performs best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of dry periods, frost, cool climates and may die back during these times to regrow when conditions start to warm. Crocosmia Lucifer is commonly included in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a container. A mass planting suits this plant.
