Stipa 'Tenuissima' (Pot Size: 11cm)
Stipa ‘Tenuissima’, commonly referred to as Mexican Feather Grass, chosen to sit in our selection for its delicate, wispy foliage and ability to add texture to garden designs. Its fine, feathery leaves form airy clumps, providing a soft, ethereal quality to borders, rock gardens, or ornamental plantings. This ornamental grass is valued for its versatility and adaptability, thriving in a variety of soil types and sun exposures.
Our head grower admires Stipa ‘Tenuissima’ for its ability to create a sense of movement and lightness in garden designs. They often pair it with bold, architectural plants like Agave or Yucca to create dynamic contrasts. Additionally, its feathery texture compliments flowering perennials such as Echinacea or Salvia, adding a touch of softness to vibrant floral displays. As an added bonus, Stipa ‘Tenuissima’ is drought tolerant once established, making it a resilient choice for water-wise landscapes.
With its graceful appearance and easy-care nature, Mexican Feather Grass is a staple in modern and urban garden designs too, providing year-round interest and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces.
