Stipa tenuissima

Mexican Feather Grass

Zone 6

Very fine -- almost hair-like foliage. Early in the season it is green but by mid-summer it has turned golden. The slightest breeze moves the honey-coloured silks. This is a grass in constant motion. Beautiful when planted in a wave. For sun to partial shade in well drained soil. (AKA Stipa tenufolia) HEIGHT: 45-60 cm SPREAD: 30-45 cm
