Also known as Pheasant's Tail Grass, this is a hardy perennial grass (height 1m/3.3ft, spread 1.2m/3.9ft) with narrow leathery dark green arching leaves turning orange-brown in winter. Pendent purplish green spikelets appear from late summer to late winter (August-February). It prefers a sunny spot, and should be watered thoroughly before planting.
