There’s a moment in the afternoon—usually when the light drops a bit—where some plants just come alive.
They move.
They catch the light.
They soften everything around them.
That’s exactly what Nafray grass does.
And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere.
🌱 What makes Nafray different
A lot of grasses promise that soft, flowing look.
Then they either:
- dry off
- fall apart
- or turn into a mess you regret planting
Nafray sits in that sweet spot.
It’s soft and natural—but still holds together.
You get:
- gentle movement in the wind
- a relaxed, modern look
- something that doesn’t need constant cutting back
And it’s tougher than it looks.
📏 How far apart should you plant Nafray?
This depends on the effect you want.
👉 For a full, flowing look: 60–80cm apart
- closer spacing = lush, full coverage faster
- wider spacing = more defined individual plants
If you’re mass planting, tighter spacing always looks better sooner.
🌿 Where it works best
This is not a “tight and tidy” plant.
It’s the one that softens everything.
Use it:
- in mass plantings
- along driveways and paths
- around outdoor areas
- mixed through garden beds for movement
It’s what stops a garden from feeling stiff or overdone.
🌿 How to actually use it (this is where people get it right)
The best gardens aren’t all one style.
They’ve got:
- structure
- softness
- contrast
For example:
If you’ve got a structured hedge like
👉 Syzygium ‘Select Form’
You can soften it with grasses like this out front.
If you want something more controlled and cascading instead:
👉 Lomandra ‘Tropic Cascade’
And if you need a tighter, cleaner border:
👉 Dianella ‘Little Jess’
That mix is what makes a garden feel designed—not random.
⚠️ Mistakes we see all the time
1. Trying to keep it too neat
It’s meant to move and be a bit relaxed—don’t fight it.
2. Planting it like a hedge
Wrong job. This is about softness, not structure.
3. Spacing too wide
You lose that lush, flowing effect.
💬 Real talk
If your garden feels:
- a bit stiff
- too structured
- like it’s missing that “something”
This is usually it.
It brings movement, light and a bit of life—without adding more work.
