Stipa tenuissima | Also known as: Needle Grass, Nassella tenuissima, Stipa tenuifolia | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
Another type of feather grass that adds an elegant touch to a garden, Stipa tenuissima boasts a notably carefree and highly attractive wispiness. In fact, it is for this light-as-air movement that feather grass is so popular. A deciduous option, it has fine, needle-like but gently arching foliage with a plume of pale green blossom on top. Its foliage turns from a light green in summer to a golden yellow in autumn. Known as Mexican Feather Grass, it thrives in well-drained soils but can be found in sandy soils near beaches. It is perfect as a central feature, or in beds and borders.
