Astelia nervosa 'Westland'
Red Mountain Astelia is an evergreen, drought tolerant, shade tolerant plant native to New Zealand. Astelia are clump-forming perennial plants that superficially resemble a sedge, with tufts of long, pleated leaves that cast a silvery sheen. ‘Westland’ is one of the hardier Astelia selections available that has a beautiful and persistent red-silver coloration. In the wild, Red Mountain Astelia can be found in tussock grasslands and meadows. In the garden, this plant performs well in rock gardens, garden borders, and an understory planting.
Plants grow to about three feet high and wide and are adaptable to different soil types. Red Mountain Astelia is drought tolerant once established, but will need occasional irrigation to look its best. While this plant will tolerate shade, the red coloration will be stronger with more sun and consistent moisture.
Cold hardy to USDA zone 8a or to 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
For sale are one gallon plants
