Anemanthele lessoniana is more than just your average Grass. Renowned for its dynamic color palette, this elegant hair grass captures your interest year-round with its transformational hues. Displaying slender and towering foliage that arches gracefully, it begins with a refreshing summer green and as the seasons change, so does its color—graduating into stunning shades of red, orange, and copper. Standing proudly at a height and spread of 1. 0m, Hair Grass does not compromise on size, making a grand statement in any landscape. But that's not all; its summer blooms of airy flower panicles add a layer of charm to its already captivating presence. Despite its delicate allure, Hair Grass is robust and resilient, remarkably adaptable to varying soil types, weather conditions, and is notably drought-tolerant. Bask it in full sun for heightened color vibrancy or allow it to grow in partial shade—it's your choice. This New Zealand native offers not just good looks, but low to moderate water usage and year-round visual appeal, making it a worthy and sustainable addition to your garden.
