Ficinia spiralis
Pikao, Ficinia spiralis, Pingao, Sand Sedge, Sand Dune Sedge
Ficinia spiralis, commonly known as Pikao or Pingao, is a grass that is found naturally on active sand dunes. The leaves emerge green and develop yellow tones as the soil or sand dune dries out. It typically grows to 70 cm tall and 1 m wide but will colonise a large area given time. Ficinia spiralis favours slopes and moving sand, hence is ideal for coastal environments. That said, it will still perform well on non-sand slopes and banks and should be mass planted.
