Nassella tenuissima (formerly Stipa tenuissima) is a delicate, clump-forming ornamental grass prized for its slender, wispy green leaves and soft, feathery seed heads that sway beautifully in the breeze. Growing 1 to 2 feet tall and wide, Mexican Feather Grass thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. Its airy texture and gentle movement make it a favorite for naturalistic plantings, rock gardens, and borders that need softness and subtle motion.
