Austrostipa setacea

Austrostipa setacea, or Bristly Spear-grass, is a slender, tufted perennial native to Australia, recognized for its fine, needle-like foliage and bristly seed heads. Adaptable to sandy or well-drained soils, this grass thrives in open grasslands and woodlands, often under challenging conditions. Its drought tolerance and resilience make it a valuable choice for ecological restoration and low-maintenance landscaping. Bristly Spear-grass contributes to biodiversity by providing habitat and forage for native wildlife, while its delicate structure adds texture and movement to naturalistic garden designs. It is ideal for projects focused on sustainable and native plantings.
