European feather grass
Stipa pennata
European feather grass is a tough, low-maintenance ornamental grass that thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Water sparingly once established, as it is adapted to dry, steppe-like conditions. Its elegant, silky plumes sway beautifully in the breeze, making it a striking addition to naturalistic or prairie-style gardens.
