Common Tussock Grass

Common Tussock Grass is a magnificent, highly architectural native perennial grass forming large, dense, weeping fountain-like clumps of fine, rough blue-green to silver-grey blades up to 80cm tall. In summer, it shoots up tall, feathery, straw-colored flower plumes that dance gracefully in the breeze. It handles heavy frost and seasonal waterlogging beautifully, serving as an elite structural border or mass-planted soil stabilizer.
