Austrostipa ramosissima, commonly known as Stout Bamboo Grass, is an evergreen perennial grass native to the open woodlands and dry sclerophyll forests of Eastern Australia. It can grow quite tall for a grass, reaching up to 2.5 meters (8.2 feet). This species is characterized by its robust, bamboo-like stems and feathery inflorescences, which can flower at any time of the year, though they are not particularly showy. The foliage is typically a blue-green color, providing textural interest throughout the year.

Stout Bamboo Grass is valued for its adaptability and resilience, making it suitable for gardens and landscapes that experience periodic droughts. It is often used as an ornamental grass in both ground plantings and container gardens, appreciated for its vertical accent and foliage contrast. While it thrives in full sun, it can also tolerate part shade. It prefers medium amounts of water and well-drained soils, but once established, it can withstand dry conditions. Gardeners should be aware that it can self-seed and may require management to prevent unwanted spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
