Anemanthele lessoniana (Pheasant's Tail Grass)

This used to be called Stipa arundinacea and is like a slightly larger version of its better known relative – Stipa tenuissima. Amy – our resident grass expert – thinks that Stipa tenuissima is for the sea side but this is more suitable for inland cottage gardens.

From New Zealand. Like most grasses – any reasonably well drained soil and plenty of light.

They are comparatively short lived grasses and will last around 3-5 years. They have a similar life span to Lavenders.

Propagated by division.

This is only meant as a guide. Please remember we're always on hand to give advice about plants and their frost hardiness.

Please remember that these coloured labels are only a rough guide.

General Point about Plant Hardiness: The commonly held belief that it's better to 'plant small' is perfectly true with herbaceous plants, but not necessarily true with woody plants. They need some 'wood' on them to survive severe cold - so plants of marginal hardiness in very cold areas should really be planted LARGER, rather than smaller, wherever possible.
