Anemanthele lessoniana, also known as Pheasant's Tail Grass or New Zealand Wind Grass, is a graceful, clump-forming ornamental grass native to New Zealand. It features slender, arching foliage that emerges green and transforms into a striking blend of copper, orange, and gold hues, particularly in autumn and winter. This semi-evergreen grass produces airy, reddish-brown flower panicles in late summer, adding movement and texture to garden spaces.
