The ornamental grass Imperata cylindrica bears white blossoms during late summer. The matte foliage is medium green in colour and medium in texture.
Special Characteristics
Imperata cylindrica is tolerant of drought and salt.
Cautions
With its fast growth rate, Imperata cylindrica will reach its mature size quickly. Keep this in mind when planning the layout of your garden. Reaching maturity quickly can be a benefit if you want your garden to look more established sooner. Be advised that Imperata cylindrica may be invasive where conditions are favourable. In such cases it will require maintenance to keep it under control. This plant is self-sowing, and without intervention may spread broadly and randomly.
