Mexican Feather Ornamental Grass Seed

Mexican Feather Grass (Stipa Tenuissima) is a beautiful mounded ornamental grass. Its needle-like flexible leaves form dense, bright green clumps. The flowers are silky awns that appear in June and change from green to gold as they mature. Spectacular when backlit at night, they are striking alone, or in large masses or drifts.

It has shown moderate cold-hardiness and performs very well in hot summer months. This is an environmentally-friendly ornamental grass with virtually no pests or diseases.

Plants will bloom the first year after sowing the ornamental grass seed in Spring.  Plant in full sun in well drained soils that are moisture retentive but never wet and not overly rich, with a sandy-loam soil being ideal: they are short lived in heavy soils.

Can be used as a pot subject with nice results. The foliage color turns a golden brown in late summer.
