Elegia tectorum Small Cape Rush,
Native: Foliage Type:
No Evergreen

TBA Clumping, Dense, Tufting

Description:
This evergreen plant forms dense tufted clumps from which arise 2-3 feet tall dark green unbranched stems. The dark green sheaths at the joints drop off in summer leaving a dark band. Late in the season the stem arches gracefully from the weight of the clusters of small brown flowers at the tips. It can be successfully planted in seaside gardens, used in dry landscapes or a plant in the shallows of a water garden, very versatile. The Chondropetalum Small Cape Rush should delight gardeners and landscapers seeking a small versatile hardy architectural plant.
