Thin Feather Grass 'Ponytails' is a perennial ornamental grass forming dense clumps of thin, thread-like leaves. In summer, delicate, feathery inflorescences appear, which over time take on a straw color and sway with every gust of wind.. The plant reaches about 50 cm in height. It looks good in naturalistic beds, gravel gardens, along paths, and in large pots.
The most important features:
- ornamental grass, perennial
- height approximately 50 cm

Cultivation:
