Giant Feather Grass
Best ornamental grass for adding elegant texture to sunny garden beds.
Giant Feather Grass (Stipa gigantea) is a magnificent ornamental grass that forms a large, mounding shape with attractive grey-green blades. It produces impressive feathery tufts and seed heads, reaching up to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide, making a dramatic statement in any landscape. This statuesque grass thrives in full sun and requires well-draining soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and hardy to -20°F. Its beauty is best appreciated as light passes through its plumes throughout the day. Butterflies are frequent visitors, and it is resistant to deer.
