wī

Poa cita | wī, pātītī, silver tussock

A graceful, evergreen grass with fine, arching blades that shift from silvery-green to golden tones, forming soft mounds that ripple beautifully in the wind. Hardy and drought-tolerant, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils yet adapts to sandy, rocky, or exposed sites, making it a resilient choice for coastal gardens, slopes, and erosion control. Its flowing texture and feathery summer flower heads add movement, subtle colour, and a light, airy quality that complements both naturalistic plantings and contemporary landscapes.
