Anemanthele lessoniana – Vibrant New Zealand Native Grass for Dynamic Landscapes

5 from 3 customers

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. Reaching up to 1 metre in height and spreading approximately 1.5 metres, Anemanthele lessoniana thrives in well-drained soils and adapts to a range of light conditions, from full sun to partial shade. Its low maintenance requirements and year-round interest make it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, containers, and naturalistic landscapes.
