STIPA SEEDS

The Stipa genus, commonly known as Feather Grass or Needle Grass, is a graceful and resilient member of the Poaceae family. These ornamental grasses are celebrated for their fine, arching foliage and airy, feather-like flower plumes in shades of gold, silver, or bronze, which sway beautifully in the breeze. Stipa adds texture, movement, and an ethereal quality to borders, rock gardens, and naturalistic landscapes.

Native to temperate and arid regions of Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Stipa thrives in well-drained soils and sunny locations, tolerating drought and poor soils once established. Popular species such as Stipa tenuissima, or Mexican Feather Grass, are particularly admired for their soft, wispy appearance and ability to blend seamlessly into a variety of garden styles. Stipa gigantea, or Giant Feather Grass, is valued for its tall, striking flower stems that create a dramatic focal point.

The Stipa genus combines beauty, adaptability, and low-maintenance care, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking ornamental grasses that bring dynamic elegance and seasonal interest to their landscapes.
