This semi-evergreen grass forms clumps of hair-like, yellow-green foliage that moves gently in the breeze, adding excellent texture and interest wherever it is planted. Stipa tenuissima ?Ponytails? produces masses of silky, silver-green flowers throughout summer, which glisten in the sun beautifully. In late summer the flowers fade to a bold shade of yellow. Perfect for softening border edges or planting in patio pots where they can be backlit by the sun. Also an excellent choice for dry borders with poor soil. Height: 60cm (24). Spread: 30cm (12).
