notes
The clump forming Anemanthele lessoniana is also known as Pheasant’s Tail Grass, due to its fountain like form and myriad of autumnal shading, from orange to red and green. This semi evergreen grass is wonderful in the garden, both for providing colour, which intensifies during the colder months of the year, and movement, from its narrow, arching leaves. In summer, sprays of airy reddish brown flowerheads emerge to dance above the elegant foliage.
Dimensions
- Pot Size: 3L
- Height and Spread: 100cm (3ft 3in) x 150cm (4ft 11in)
