“Green” is a NZ native, ornamental grass featuring slender and arching, lime green foliage. It grows as a tidy clump to about 40 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained site in either full sun or partial shade. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, coastal conditions, and dry periods. “Green” is commonly used in border plantings, rock gardens, planted around the base of larger plants, mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, or simply grown in a container. The aesthetic value of this plant along with its ease to grow makes it a popular choice. It will give the most rewarding displays with a mass planting.
