About

This distinctive ornamental grass features broad, pleated leaves that evoke the elegance of miniature palm fronds. Its arching foliage provides a lush, tropical feel, making it an attractive choice for various garden settings.

Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal for adding a tropical accent to shaded or partially shaded areas in Kilifi gardens, especially as an underplanting or groundcover. It thrives in rich, well-drained soil and can be spaced 60-90 cm apart to form attractive clumps.

Growing notes

This grass establishes relatively quickly and, once settled, requires moderate watering, preferring consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. While generally low-maintenance, it can self-seed, so occasional management may be needed to control its spread.
