Officially now known as Nassella tenuissima but mainly known as the Mexican feather grass or Ponytails.
A compact evergreen grass forming upright clumps of airy silver-green foliage topped with fluffy, feathery beige flower heads which constantly sway with the slightest breeze & by late summer the whole plant turns a golden buff colour.
A really useful garden plant as it unifys many a planting scheme, pairing well with such a wide range of plants. A great grass in a gravel garden, a naturalistic or prairie border, coastal gardens or in a contemporary setting, it also lends itself well to containers or pots.
This grass requires full sun and well drained soil, its very low maintenance & drought tolerant, so great for a hot dry site in the garden.
