Stipa tenuissima

 

One of the most beautiful of the grasses which forms a light airy clump. This grass is as good in mid-winter as mid-summer. It catches any bit of breeze, parting and moving. Superb as an accent point or used in a mass planting. Allow Rudbeckia or Echinacea to clump behind it for a see-through effect.
