Stipa Pony Tails 2 Litre Pot

Stipa tenuissima 'Pony Tails'

Soft, flowing ornamental grass with fine, feathery texture

Stipa tenuissima, often called ‘Pony Tails’, is a graceful, compact grass loved for its fine, hair-like foliage and silky flower heads that ripple in the breeze. Its soft, flowing form brings movement and texture to borders, gravel gardens, containers, or naturalistic planting schemes.

In summer, pale golden flower spikes appear above the foliage, ageing to a straw colour that lasts through autumn and winter, offering extended seasonal interest. Drought-tolerant and easy to grow, it pairs beautifully with other sun-loving perennials and grasses.
