I am a unique hybrid of Australian grasses that promises to change the way lawns are grown in Australia.
I only need mowing every year or so or left unmowed for an undulating Japanese Temple Grass effect.
Unlike traditional Japanese Temple Grass lawns Zen Grass® is quicker to fill out and far more drought tolerant.
Plant me at a rate of 4 to 6 per metre or if quicker full coverage is desired up to 9 per metre.
Best planted during my peak growing season (warmer months) and water me regularly for the first 4 to 8 weeks to help me establish.
Planting me in mulched soil will help supress weeds and I will eventually grow over and put my roots through it.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My upright deep purple and green foliage adds contrast to gardens and borders
I am suitable for windy areas and coastal planting
My 30cm flower spikes from spring to autumn are in the form of feathery plumes are reminiscent of a fountain

Tips for success
Planting me in soil with mulch will reduce weeds competition. I only need mowing once or twice per year
Plant at least 0.2m apart.
Choose a full sun to partly shaded position.
Once established, check soil moisture and water during extended dry periods.
Choose whether you are planting in the garden or a pot to receive guidance built from this plant's light, water, habit and use information.
