Stipa tenuissima / Mexican Feather Grass

This graceful ornamental grass is known for its delicate, threadlike green leaves that form a dense, fountain-like clump. The slender, silvery-green foliage dances gracefully in the gentlest breeze, adding a soft and enchanting touch to any garden. In summer, it produces feathery, silver-green flower spikes that hover just above the foliage, turning golden in autumn and winter. This drought-tolerant perennial forms a clump almost three feet tall and two feet wide. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it is ideal for use as an accent plant, in borders, or in naturalized meadows. It provides year-round interest and pairs beautifully with a variety of flowering bulbs and perennials.
