Anemanthele lessoniana (syn Stipa Arundinacea), 2L Dog Leads the deciduous dwarf shrubThe clump forming Anemanthele lessoniana is also known as Pheasants Tail Grass, due to its fountain like form and myriad of autumnal shading, from orange to red and green. This semi evergreen grass is wonderful in the garden, both for providing colour, which intensifies during the colder months of the year, and movement, from its narrow, arching leaves. In summer, sprays of airy reddish brown flowerheads emerge to dance above the elegant foliage.
