Feather grass

Feather grass is one of those ornamental grasses that brings a sense of lightness and delicacy to any garden. Its feathery inflorescences ripple in even the slightest breeze, adding an element of constant motion to your plantings. It looks great not only in flower beds but also in summer bouquets, where its texture nicely complements the full blooms of other plants.

These grasses originally come from sunny slopes and warmer regions. Therefore, they thrive in full sun and well-drained, sandy, or stony soil. They handle summer drought with no trouble at all, while it is better to avoid heavy, permanently waterlogged soil here.

For a natural look, it is best to plant feather grass in loose clusters of several pieces. They pair wonderfully with other drought-tolerant perennials, together creating a peaceful slice of nature that requires little care and will bring you joy right until late autumn.
