An indispensable grass for sunny, dry gardens. New growth emerges in the spring a beautiful soft green, before producing silver green flowerheads in summer, with the plant eventually ageing to a wonderful golden buff colour.
Once provided with full sun and reasonably drained soil, the only maintenance required is to simply cut the plant close to ground level in later winter/early spring, ready for the new growth to emerge.
Stipa tenuissima will self-seed when happy, creating beautiful drifts where desired.
Full sun. Most soil types. Extremely drought-tolerant once established.
Height: 40cm - 60cm
Width: 15cm - 35cm
