Nassella tenuissima (Syn. Stipa tenuissima)
Mexican Feather Grass is a tidy, western native ornamental grass. It is a compact, perennial grass, bearing closely packed, thread-like stems forming soft mounds. In the summer, masses of elegant blonde feathery seed heads are held above the foliage. These can be cut and dried when first opened for use in winter arrangements indoors. Alternatively, they make a useful winter food source for finches and other seed-eating tweedy birds. Grow this plant in well-drained soil in part to full sun. It works well in a mixed border among virtually any other perennials, shrubs, accent plants like Agaves or Yucca sp., as well as other grasses.
