Trisetum antarcticum

Antarctic Feathergrass

Trisetum antarcticum, commonly known as Antarctic Feather Grass, is a native New Zealand tussock grass growing up to 60 cm tall. It features fine, arching green leaves and delicate, feathery flower heads that appear in summer. This hardy grass thrives in alpine and subalpine environments, preferring well-drained, rocky soils. Trisetum antarcticum is ideal for erosion control and adding texture to naturalistic and native garden designs. Its resilience to harsh conditions makes it a valuable plant for sustainable landscaping and restoration projects in New Zealand’s mountainous regions.
