Description
Anemanthele lessoniana, commonly known as wind grass or dancing grass, is a perennial, tussock-forming grass native to New Zealand. It grows up to 1.2 meters tall, forming dense, arching clumps of fine, slender green leaves that turn golden and bronze in the cooler months. In summer, it produces delicate, feathery flower panicles that sway gracefully in the wind, adding movement and texture to gardens.
Anemanthele lessoniana is valued for its ornamental appeal, drought tolerance, and low-maintenance nature. It thrives in well-drained soils and is commonly used in landscaping, erosion control, and native garden restoration projects.
