Stipa Pony Tails 10.5 cm

Known as Mexican Feather grass or Texas needle grass “Stipa ponytails” is a beautiful ornamental grass that has whisps of pale yellow and green leaves adding a delicate and airy texture into your containers and baskets. Forming a compact and upright style with foliage as thin as strands of hair, mimicking a pony’s tail earning its name rightly so. During summer this grass will produce panicles in a light brown shade that gently sway in the wind. Due to this grass producing flowers we recommend growing in a full sun setting however, grasses aren’t fussy about where they are potted as they will just grow slower as opposed to how they would grow if in full sunlight, however, Stipa pony tails doesn’t like being in standing water so look for somewhere with a well-drained soil or if in a container and baskets have a decent water retentive soil that allows for plenty of drainage. Once established this Stipa will tolerate droughts of dry periods offering low maintenance and ease of care. Being a semi evergreen, this can sometimes lose all the foliage only to re-emerge in the spring. To help encourage new growth cut back in late spring or early summer. Stipa ponytails is versatile and combines great with other perennials and annuals offering biodiversity into your garden. Stipa Pont tail will reach a potential length and spread of 60cm.
