Stipa, commonly referred to as Feather Grass, is a graceful, ornamental grass renowned for its fine, silky foliage and delicate flower panicles that catch the light and sway beautifully in the breeze. Its soft, arching clumps of narrow, green leaves provide movement and texture in the garden, while the airy, feathery seed heads, which appear in summer, add an ethereal quality to borders, rock gardens, or gravel plantings. Over time, the seed heads mature into soft, golden tones, extending the plant’s visual appeal well into autumn.

Perfect for sunny, well-drained locations, Stipa thrives in low-maintenance landscapes, coastal gardens, and modern prairie-style designs. Its gentle, flowing form makes it an ideal companion for flowering perennials and other ornamental grasses, creating a harmonious, naturalistic look.
