Baloskion Tetraphyllum (Tassel Cord-Rush) is an attractive Australian native rush-like plant with slender, upright green stems that form a dense, graceful clump. Its fine, architectural appearance brings texture and movement to garden beds, while the delicate tassel-like flowering structures add subtle seasonal interest. It is particularly well suited to damp or moisture-retentive areas where many conventional ornamental grasses may struggle.
A versatile choice for water-sensitive landscape design, Baloskion Tetraphyllum works beautifully around ponds, streams, rain gardens and other moist garden locations. Its distinctive upright habit provides structure without becoming visually heavy, and its low-maintenance nature makes it a practical option for naturalistic plantings, borders and contemporary landscapes.
