Austrostipa stipoides Details

Austrostipa stipoides, commonly known as Coast Spear Grass, is an attractive and very hardy tussock featuring fawn coloured foliage. This NZ native grows as a clump and produces sternly upright foliage as it grows to about 60 cm tall and the same wide. This tough plant will tolerate wind-swept, coastal environments but will perform best when grown in full sun. Austrostipa stipoides is commonly used for stabilising soils, riparian plantings, and revegetation projects but also suits being used as an informal hedge, including in a mixed planting, or mass planting on a bank.
