Stipa tenuissima
Stipa tenuissima is a graceful ornamental grass renowned for its fine, hair-like foliage and constant movement in the breeze. Forming soft fountains of fresh green leaves in spring, it gradually develops warm golden tones as the season progresses, bringing texture and colour to the garden for many months.
From late spring into summer, delicate silky flower plumes emerge above the foliage, catching the light and creating a shimmering effect. Even the gentlest breeze sets the foliage and flowers in motion, adding a sense of softness and movement to borders and planting schemes.
Perfect for naturalistic gardens, prairie-style planting, gravel gardens and patio containers, this drought-tolerant grass thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Its compact size and elegant form make it an invaluable plant for softening hard landscaping and complementing flowering perennials.
