Stipa tenuissima 'Pony Tails'

Wild garden enthusiasts are very familiar with "angel's hair", this graceful ornamental grass that settles in modestly before becoming, within just two seasons, an incredible fountain of fresh green, gently waving strands that dance in the slightest breeze. At the beginning of summer, it transforms into soft, silky, blonde, airy tufts that catch the light beautifully.

The wind creates rippling waves through its delicate foliage, while the sun seems to dissolve into it when viewed against the light. A truly magnificent, hardy grass that is unfazed by challenging conditions and thrives in every style of garden, from the most naturalistic to the most contemporary.
