Few plants bring movement to a border quite like Stipa tenuissima ‘Pony Tails’. With its soft, feather-like foliage and clouds of delicate flower heads, this ornamental grass catches the light beautifully and dances in the slightest breeze.
A favourite in naturalistic and contemporary planting schemes, Pony Tail Grass adds softness, texture and a relaxed, meadow-like feel to borders, gravel gardens and containers. Fine green foliage emerges in spring, followed by silky flowering stems through summer that fade to warm golden tones later in the season.
It works brilliantly threaded through drought-tolerant perennials such as Salvias, Verbena, Gaura and Echinacea, helping to knit planting combinations together while adding movement and contrast.
