Chondropetalum
tectorum * Cape Reed
|
This South African reed
is in the plant family Restinaceae family. It is the African analog to the
Rushes in the Juncaceae family. The Cape Reed is capable of withstanding an
amazing breadth of soil types and moisture conditions. I grew
Chondropetalum tectorum in
a pond for a year before it thought that was too much. I think only
then because the root ball was under the water level. Chondropetalum
will grow in heavy soil or light and even with little or no water.
