Botanical name: Aristida junciformis

Aristida junciformis, also known as ngongoni grass, is a tough and beautiful addition to any garden. This tufted perennial forms clumps of fine, green leaves topped with wispy, mauve plumes that sway in the breeze. A true survivor, it tolerates most soil conditions, from wet clay to dry sand, making it a versatile landscaping choice. Not only is it drought-resistant, but it also provides valuable habitat for small creatures, serves as a pioneer species helping to prevent soil erosion, and has traditionally been used to make brooms.
