Plant in a Box Stipa tenuifolia 'Pony Tails' - 9er Set Zier Federgras

Stipa tenuissima, also known as Spanish grass, is a fully feathered, hardy, perennial, and beautiful grass variety with very fine leaves. This ornamental grass plant features a rich inflorescence of delicate flower stems that can reach up to about 50 cm in height, swaying beautifully in the wind. Stipa has lovely light yellow-green leaves covered with fluffy panicles of silvery-green flowers that mature to a blond yellow. This versatile grass is ideal for a sunny garden, a large decorative pot, or a perennial border. The waving plumes create a rustic and calming effect in a gentle breeze. The plant also fits perfectly into an oriental-themed garden.

Care: Grow Stipa in any fertile, well-drained soil in a fully sunny location. It is advisable to cut back the Stipa in spring to about 20 cm above the ground. The grasses will then quickly sprout again and form new "hairs." It is also possible to gently comb through the grass clumps in spring with garden gloves to remove the dead leaves from the plant. This ornamental grass remains green in winter and withstands temperatures down to -15 degrees.

Size: The plants are delivered at a height of 20-30 cm, measured including the growing pot. The plants are supplied in a growing pot with a diameter of 9 cm.
