Chionocloa flavicans
Strong growing tussock with flowing mid-green foliage. Tall flowering stems produce large compact flower plumes, emerging a lovely greenish colour in spring before turning rich cream. These last well into the summer. Grows in sun or semi-shade, best in good soil that retains moisture, though will tolerate some dry.
