Spiny-head mat-rush, also known as Basket grass

Spiny-head mat-rush is an evergreen perennial forming a large tussock approximately 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 meters) tall and 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 meters) wide. It features arching, strap-shaped, medium green leaves that can reach lengths greater than 3 feet (90 centimeters), with distinctly toothed tips resembling cuts from pinking shears. In spring and summer, spiny-head mat-rush bears small, fragrant flowers clustered on spikes that typically stay below the leaf tops. The plant thrives in a range of conditions, from full sun to moderate shade, with varying watering needs.
