Anemanthele lessoniana Grass

Anemanthele lessoniana grass is a NZ native, ornamental grass grown for its colourful foliage. Slender blades emerge green then develop orange and bronze highlights which are accentuated during winter. Rose-red flower stems are borne in summer and provide a lovely display as they shimmer in the wind. Gossamer grass grows to about 80 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of short periods of dry, coastal conditions, frost, and cool climates, but will not tolerate prolonged wet. Anemanthele lessoniana grass is commonly added to mixed plantings, mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, included in border plantings, or planted around outdoor living areas. Landscape designers will often include it in gardens for its elegant and graceful appearance.
