Anamanthele lessoniana (Stipa arundinacae)

Pheasant Tail Grass
Anamanthele lessoniana  (formerly Stipa arundinacae)
Type: Evergreen Ornamental Grass
Exposure: Full Sun / Part Shade
Water: Regular

This fast growing, evergreen grass quickly forms a clump that’s 2.5-3 ft (75-90cm) high and wide. The slender blades are green streaked with orange, turning more coppery during the fall and winter. In early summer, feathery purplish flowers on graceful outward-arching stems appear, which can be used in floral arrangements. This one makes a great focal point plant.

Cheers,

John
