Cannomois grandis
Bell Reed
Description
Cannomois grandis, commonly known as the Cape Reed, is a robust, grass-like plant belonging to the Restionaceae family. It features tall, slender stems, often reaching several feet in height, and lacks true leaves, with the stems acting as the primary photosynthetic organs. The plant is native to the fynbos region of South Africa and is well-adapted to nutrient-poor, sandy soils. Provide the plant with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Water regularly during the growing season, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Cannomois grandis is a great plant to grow in a naturalized or water-wise landscape.
