Chondropetalum tectorum ‘El Campo’ is a deer-resistant, evergreen, ornamental grass-like (restio) cultivar of Chondropetalum tectorum from South Africa. It is drought-resistant and adaptable, often used for its dense tufted clumps of narrow, upright stems uniquely jointed with dark bands, which are topped with small, inconspicuous brown flowers in the late season. It tolerates a wide range of conditions and can grow in wet or dry soil, making it useful for rain and seaside gardens and pond edges. It can also be used for screening and hedging.
