Distribution en:
Description en: Genus of approximately 4 species of rhizomatous, perennial reed grasses widely distributed in fen, marsh, and riverside habitats in temperate and tropical zones worldwide. They have robust stems bearing deciduous, flat, linear, mid- or slightly grey-green leaves. From late summer to mid- or late autumn, they produce large, plumed, silky-hairy panicles of 3- to 11-flowered spikelets, which are useful for dried arrangements. P. australis, the only species commonly grown, is vigorous and invasive, especially at the water’s edge. Grow in naturalistic lakeside plantings with ample space. Where space is limited, grow in large containers sunk in water to restrict growth.
