Isolepis cernua
DESCRIPTION
An evergreen, perennial, ornamental grass that forms a neat clumping mound and gives an eye-catching display with its finely textured leaves which spill over like a fountain. It bears small, silvery white flowers at the tips and resembles fibre optic wires, hence its common name.
MAINTENANCE
Water regularly and avoid the soil drying out. The foliage will turn yellow if the soil becomes too dry.Clumps can be divided in spring every 2-3 years or when the plants become crowded.
LANDSCAPING USES
Looks magnificent in a container or hanging basket, allowing it to spill over the sides.Can also be used to add texture in a mixed bed.

Hi Paul
Thanks for visiting Plantbook.
I don’t know where you can acquire the seeds. However, the plant readily self-seeds, so you can purchase some plants and harvest the seed.
Flourish!
