Beak Grass
Diarrhena obovata
Beak Grass is a low-maintenance and aesthetically pleasing addition to anywhere from shaded woodland areas to more formal garden borders. It forms clumps of fine, arching green leaves that can grow up to 2 feet tall. Beak Grass thrives in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for areas under trees or along garden edges where other plants might struggle.
