Deer Grass

Common name: Deer Grass
Botanical name: Muhlenbergia rigens

Deer Grass is a warm season perennial grass that forms dense clumps from the base. The spike-like flower stalks grow 2'-3' tall in summer. This grass has dramatic and handsome form. Deer Grass needs watering once or twice a month after it has been established. It is very water efficient but looks better with regular waterings.

Tasmanian Tree Fern

Common name: Tasmanian Tree Fern
Botanical name: Dicksonia antarctica

This slow-growing plant is the hardiest of all tree ferns. Its fronds, 3'-6' long, are also dark green in color. It should receive part sun, and average watering, although the plants will take relatively dry conditions when established.

Papyrus, Egyptian Paper Reed

Common name: Papyrus, Egyptian Paper Reed
Botanical name: Cyperus papyrus

This tall, subtropical perennial bears clusters of filmy, narrow, thread-like leaflets on stalks to 6-8' tall. This plant requires average to heavy watering, and must be protected from hard frost. It makes an outstanding container plant and is striking when used with cut flowers. The plant should be grown in sun to part shade and will tolerate standing water.
