Chionochloa rubra is a striking New Zealand native grass known for its unique appearance and vibrant red hues. This tufted, clump-forming grass features slender, arching leaves that turn a rich reddish-brown in autumn adding warm seasonal colour to the landscape. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it suitable for a variety of garden settings, from borders to rockeries.

Hardy and low-maintenance, Chionochloa rubra is an excellent choice for adding texture and movement to your garden and it also provides an attractive contrast when paired with other plants. Its ability to withstand cold temperatures makes it an ideal option for both urban and rural gardens.
