About
A perennial, semi-evergreen grass that forms loose, tufted clumps up to 1m in height with a spread to 50cm. The spikelets are pale green to light brown, around 5–10cm long, and held on wiry stems, giving a feathery texture. It produces dainty, nodding flower spikes from June to September. They have a soft, hairy texture, and remain green for much of the year, though they may turn yellowish in autumn and colder months. The leaves are long, slender, and lime green, measuring up to 30cm long and up to 1cm wide. It has an arching habit with softly drooping stems and a soft, informal appearance.
