Description:
A very slow growing spectacular dwarf grasstree with a absent trunk. Growing to approx 50cm-80cm tall. Thin, firm grass-like bright green leaves appear out of the ground and extend approx. 80cm, arching over. Grass trees usually flower after a bushfire. In the absence of fires, they will only flower if healthy. Flower stalks intertwine with each other giving this plant the common name Snake Charmer. Honey scented flowers attract birds and bees. Grass trees can take a few years to settle and adapt, but will make a statement in any garden style.
