Giant Feather Grass is a striking architectural ornamental grass, ideal for borders, prairie-style planting, gravel gardens and as a dramatic statement plant. Plants form a graceful mound of narrow green leaves, from which tall, airy flower stems rise in early summer, reaching up to 2.5m in height. The delicate oat-like flowers emerge green, maturing to golden straw tones that shimmer beautifully in sunlight and persist well into winter.
Stipa gigantea grows best in free-draining soils and thrives in dry, sunny positions once established. The foliage remains attractive for much of the year, with flower stems adding movement and interest from summer through winter.
Pack of 10 seeds. Sow in autumn/winter outdoors and winter/spring indoors. Germination is erratic so sow more than you need. Sowing instructions and colour photo are printed on the packet.
