Stipa tenuissima (Mexican Feather Grass)
|
|
This is a very graceful and beautiful ornamental grass. Forming dense clumps of arching, filament-thin, bright green leaves, it bears all summer long a profusion of long, narrow, softly feathery plumes - greenish-white to start with then changing to buff. The whole plant billows in the slightest breeze.
Height 1m (3ft), Spread 50cm (1.5ft), 2-5 years to maturity.
