Shears Nursery Stipa Pony Tails

Stipa Pony Tails Grass

Pack of 6 plants

A neat, compact, perennial grass,
this has lots of close-packed,
stiff, thread-like stems forming a
strongly horizontal shape about
60cm (2ft) tall.
In summer, plants are covered
with masses of elegant pale
feathery seed-heads which are
held a little 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 birds.

Plants like a sunny well-drained
spot and associate well with
compact alstroemerias, rock plants
and other grasses that enjoy
similar growing conditions.

Brilliant for the container with
other grasses or in the border.
