How to recognise it

  • Bottlebrush-like arching seed spikes
  • Green bristly plumes resembling foxtail
  • Slim grassy stems
  • Narrow long leaves along the stem
  • No obvious flowers, just grass seed heads

Care

Strip any leaves that sit below the waterline and recut stems before placing in clean water. Not sensitive to ethylene. Keep away from direct heat and draughts; tops will dry naturally and can be used as a dried element later.

Easy to confuse with

  • Pennisetum (fountain grass) – fluffier, softer plumes
  • Phalaris – flatter, broader seed heads
