Endemic to the western Cape in South Africa this is a rush-like plant, part of the Restio family with slightly zig-zag, brown sheathed jointed stems and brown flower tufts in the summer. It can reach 1.5m x 1.2m in height. Good for coastal positions.

Water regularly in the summer but allow it to dry out a bit between waterings. Grow in full sun in poor soil. Be aware that it is tolerant of root disturbance. Pretty good in wind.
