Nassella tenuissima

The slender rippling blades of this textural delight shimmer and shimmy in the summer and autumn breeze. They're topped by equally shimmery spikes of pale tawny flowers/seeds. This is one of those plants that fairly flows.

Full to part sun; average to dry soil (drought tolerant); 24"x18"; midsummer to fall; Zone 6

Propagated from seed; deep 3.5-inch pots
