Stipa gigantea
Stipa gigantea is a magnificent architectural grass prized for its towering stature and graceful, airy flower heads. Dense clumps of narrow grey-green foliage form an attractive base, from which rise tall, slender stems carrying shimmering golden oat-like panicles that dance elegantly in the slightest breeze.
Flowering from early summer and remaining attractive well into autumn, the translucent flower heads catch and reflect sunlight beautifully, creating a soft, glowing effect when backlit. The seed heads persist long after flowering, providing valuable structure and interest throughout the changing seasons.
As autumn arrives, the foliage develops warm orange-yellow tones, extending its ornamental appeal even further. Perfect for prairie-style planting, gravel gardens and mixed borders, this dramatic grass brings height, movement and texture to both contemporary and naturalistic garden designs.
