-Describe the plant here...
+'''''Thamnochortus insignis''''' is a species of grass-like restio of the family [[Restionaceae]].
 ==Cultivation==
+It is excellent in pots and can be easily established outside in mild districts (in the Northern Hemisphere). It is hardy to -3ºC.[http://www.rhs.org.uk/WhatsOn/Events/londonlectures/southafricanrestio.htm]
 ===Propagation===
+The seed comes in the form of a tiny nutlet inside the old flower, which by this stage has formed two small wings. The seeds are produced in very large quantities by each female plant, but are not all viable; a large number of nutlets are empty inside.
