Grasses: Tiger Grass (Thysanolaena maxima)

What You Should Know About a Tiger Grass Hedge

Because tiger grass is not actually bamboo, it does not produce runners or side shoots the same way bamboo does. You will be able to control its growth more easily, as well as prevent it from spreading across your garden.

• Once planted, a tiger grass hedge will rapidly expand in most locations throughout Australia, except for regions that experience extremely cold and frosty conditions, such as Tasmania or mountainous areas.
• Your tiger grass plant will flourish if you plant it in a space where room is limited – the plant tends to clump tightly, which is why it’s the ideal plant if you would like to grow a screen in your garden.
• You’ll need rich soil full of organic matter to plant your tiger grass in and remember to water it regularly. It will also do better in full sunlight or partial shade, so you should be sure to plant it where it gets plenty of sun.
