This intriguing restio, with its finely divided foliage when young, matures into long, arching plumes of tall, feathery foliage that can reach 2-3 meters. Often mistaken for bamboo or grass, it captivates with its unique appearance. To thrive, plant it in well-drained, acidic soil, keep it moist during the summer, and protect it with bark mulch in cold winters.
