Cultivar Notes -

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. It is native to the Americas.

Genus Notes -

Nasella

The grasses in this genus have exceptionally fine foliage and silky flowers that wave in the lightest breeze. They are spectacular in fresh and dried arrangements. These Grasses need well-drained soil and are quite tolerant of drought.
