Ficinia nodosa (Knobby Club Rush)
Ficinia nodosa, commonly known as Knobby Club Rush, is a NZ native grass that features stout, mid-green foliage. In cold or exposed climates, the foliage often takes on bronze tones. Light brown flower heads are borne among the foliage in summer, adding additional interest to this plant. It typically grows to 70 cm tall and 1 m wide, but will colonise a larger area over time with its spreading roots. Ficinia nodosa is ideal for planting in wet areas, particularly in coastal plantings, and can be used in mixed plantings or borders, or mass-planted as a groundcover or on a bank.
