Mexican Feather Grass
Ponytails is a lovely little grass, soft and tactile and wonderfully easy to grow. It doesn't need to be cut down, just gently raked through in spring to remove the old foliage and flowers to reveal the bright green new growth. The leaves are extremely fine and abundant. As summer progresses the foliage turns to a lovely golden colour through to bleached pale straw. It self seeds freely but are easy to remove if unwanted or you can pot them up! A great ornamental grass for a sunny well drained position - like most Stipa grasses, it doesn't like to sit wet over winter. The height is approximately 60cm. We use loads of stipa tenuissima in our show gardens as it looks so beautiful amongst herbaceous perennials..
