Austrostipa stipoides, commonly known as Coast Spear grass, is a native grass that is found throughout Australia. It is a popular choice for landscaping due to its attractive appearance and low maintenance requirements. Spear grass has narrow, grey-green leaves and produces tall, feathery seed heads in the summer, adding a subtle texture and movement to any landscape. It is often used as a groundcover or in mass plantings, providing a naturalistic look to gardens and public spaces. Spear grass is drought-tolerant and can thrive in a range of growing conditions, making it a versatile and low-maintenance plant.
