Feather grass

Feather grass flowers capture attention in beds and bouquets with their lightness and delicacy. All feather grasses love full sun and dry, stony, well-drained soil. To look most natural in beds, it is good to plant them in loose groups of several pieces together with other drought-loving perennials and bulbs. Only then do their stems and inflorescences, set in motion by the slightest breath of wind, truly stand out. Stipa 'Ponny Tails' is a species native to the steppes of Mexico, Texas, and Patagonia. Airy, dense clumps of hair-like delicate leaves resemble horsehair. The leaves are green, turning up to straw-colored towards the flowers. In a suitable location, it also self-seeds.

It forms solid grey-green clumps with upright stems. The flowers, in the form of beige awns, stand almost horizontally away from the stem when ripening and twist interestingly.

Feather grass is an ornamental grass that brings incredible lightness and movement to your garden. Its original home is the sunny and gravelly slopes of Southern and Central Europe. It loves the sun and well-drained sandy or loamy soil. It grows in neat clumps reaching a height of around seventy centimeters and is among the longest-blooming grasses. As early as June, it produces feathery inflorescences in silver and beige shades that bend into graceful arches and react to every gust of wind. It works as a perfect filler plant in flowerbeds. It is an absolutely undemanding perennial ideal for beginners, does not suffer from pests or diseases, and handles even deep frosts. In a suitable location, it readily self-seeds, and a huge advantage is its wonderful winter effect under a layer of frost. For florists, feather grass is a tremendous asset. The stems with blooming panicles are perfectly suited for cutting into fresh bouquets as well as drying for winter decorations, where they hold their shape.
