Imperata cylindrica Blady Grass

Add instant drama and texture to your garden with Imperata cylindrica, a hardy, vigorous dwarf grass that brings bold structure and movement to the landscape. In late summer, delicate, pale fluffy seed heads emerge, adding softness and contrast to bold planting schemes. Perfect for mass planting, where it creates a striking seasonal display, or in containers where its form and texture can be enjoyed up close. Its extensive root system can reach over a metre, making it useful for binding banks and helping with erosion control. In garden beds, a root barrier is recommended to help keep this vigorous grass contained.
