Garden Goods Direct | Mexican Feather Grass
$37
Mexican feather grass (Nassella tenuissima or Stipa tenuissima) is a swaying fine-textured clump-forming grass. The crisp green blades are arching and extremely narrow. Foliage can be semi-evergreen or deciduous depending on the climate. In summer narrow panicles of creamy long awned spikelets appear. By late summer or autumn, plants are crowned with buff-colored seedheads. This grass prospers in sunny sites with a wide variety of soils. Native to North America, Mexican feather grass thrives in quick-draining, lean soil and is quite drought-tolerant.
