Achieving the right Poa cita spacing is essential for healthy, attractive plantings of this beloved New Zealand native grass. Poa cita, commonly known as Silver Tussock, is famous for its graceful, arching foliage and its versatility in landscape design. Correct spacing helps each tussock develop its distinct silver-green form, improves airflow, and minimises competition for nutrients. Whether you’re establishing a mass planting along a dry hillside, creating a native border, or restoring a habitat, understanding how far apart to plant Poa cita is key to long-term success.
Poa cita
Poa cita, commonly known as Silver Tussock, is a clump-forming NZ native grass with delicate, green foliage that wafts gracefully in the breeze. It typically grows to 60 cm in height and 50 cm in width, preferring a full sun or partial shade position on a well-drained site. Poa cita is also often included in borders, rock gardens, mass-planted on a bank, or planted to help minimize erosion. Landscape designers in NZ frequently use Silver Tussock in alpine-themed gardens or modern gardens for their rounded, architectural form.
