Nassella tenuissima (Mexican Feather Grass) is a graceful ornamental grass featuring fine, needle-like green blades topped with silky, blond flower heads. Its wispy texture provides constant movement and a soft, ethereal look to the landscape.

This professional-grade grass is grown with an organic heritage for maximum resilience in sunny, dry locations. It is an ideal choice for mass plantings, meadow-style gardens, or as a softening element in modern container designs.

  • Graceful Movement: Sways beautifully in even the slightest breeze.
  • Drought Tolerant: Thrives in low-water conditions once established.
  • Multi-Season Interest: Remains attractive with golden tones through the winter.
  • Low Maintenance: Requires only a simple yearly cut-back in late winter.
  • Deer Resistant: Fine texture is generally avoided by grazing animals.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun with low to moderate water needs.
