Uses and Culture

USES

  • Occasionally used as a substitute for pili grass thatch (Heteropogon contortus) (Krauss 1993:58). The waving of k$#257;welu grass in the breeze is said to be the inspiration of a swaying hula step (Neal 1965:64).

CULTURE

  • Kāwelu holu o Lanihuli. The swaying grass of Lanihuli. Visitors to Nu‘uanu Pali know the kāwelu grass on the slope of the hill, dipping, rippling, and swaying in the breeze. It is mentioned in many chants and poems.

  • Nu‘uanu pali, O‘ahu

PROPAGATION/CULTIVATION

  • Easy. From seed, transplant when about 5 cm tall, don't let them get root-bound in pots (Culliney and Koebele 1999:75–77).
