Dichelachne crinita

Dichelachne crinita, or Long-hair Plume Grass, is a graceful, tufted perennial grass native to Australia, commonly found in open woodlands, grasslands, and along rocky outcrops. Growing up to 1 meter tall, it is characterized by its fine green foliage and striking, plume-like flower spikes adorned with long, silky hairs, which appear from spring to early summer and sway elegantly in the breeze.

This grass is highly valued for its ornamental appeal and its role in stabilizing soils in natural landscapes. It thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates full sun to light shade, as well as periods of drought. Long-hair Plume Grass is a versatile species, ideal for native gardens, wildflower meadows, and revegetation projects.

With its distinctive plumes, adaptability, and ecological contributions, Dichelachne crinita is a beautiful and functional choice for sustainable landscaping, grasslands and habitat restoration efforts.
