Mexican Feather Grass

No other grass exhibits quite the refinement of texture as this species. Its bright green foliage resembles delicate filaments that arise in elegant, vase-like clumps and spill outward like a soft fountain. All summer it bears a profusion of feathery panicles, which mature from foamy-green to blonde. The flowers are silky awns that appear in June and change from green to gold as they mature. These ornamental grasses are
especially striking when planted in masses, but they also can be grown in containers with nice results.
