Stipa Tenuissima


You can't prove it by me, but that was the tag on the plant. It is also known as "Pony Tails" Feather Grass. We went to the garden center to find some plants for the side garden. I know nothing about gardening, so I just wandered around to see if I could find any interesting photographs. This is my favorite - I saw the swirls of the grasses from quite a distance away. I love the delicate curls of the grasses, and subtle color differences.

  1. i know nothing about gardening, either. are you supposed to plant this in a flat field and then roll around in it? does "stipa tenuissima" mean "making hay"?

  2. I am still laughing at the first comment, although I do not intend to plant this myself! :-)
