Stipa Gigantea

Stipa Gigantea is the most supreme ornamental grass. It has soft smooth blades with a low blowsy habit in medium light green, and in mid summer it sends up these stalks with giant seed heads that burst forth and rattle as they sway in the breeze. If you plant it where the sun shines through it at dawn or dusk, you will also be blessed with the most gorgeous glowing amber display...and it dances above the plants it sits with, showering the area with gold.
