Native plant forming mounds of sprawling rush-like stems. Very beautiful nodding cream flowers smoother the foliage in spring, followed by fluffy silver seed heads. It is a plant of open ecologies, such as grassland, scrubland and rocky areas. Its natural range follows the dry eastern flanks of the lower North Island and South Island (where it is most prevalent within Marlborough and Canterbury). Hardy to dry, open conditions.
