A superb member of the Restionaceae family (the Restios) from South Africa, the dark green, reed-like stems rise from a dense basal clump and reach up to 8’ tall. Each stem is banded with chocolate bracts that lighten to a warm golden color before being shed. A strong and durable perennial for full sun or light shade with regular to moderate water, Chondropetalum has also proved to be quite tolerant of boggy or clay soils. Stunning when used in containers. Hardy to 20F. South Africa. Deer resistant.
