Stipa ichu – Peruvian Feather Grass
A graceful ornamental grass with silky, light green plumes that catch every breeze and shimmer in the garden. In fall, the foliage matures to a warm golden tan, extending its ornamental value well into the cooler months. Similar to Mexican Feather Grass (Nassella tenuissima) but with the key advantage of reseeding far less aggressively in low-water conditions — making it a more garden-friendly choice for water-wise landscapes. Heat tolerant and adaptable, it performs well even in rocky or clay soils.
Key Features:
- Perennial ornamental grass
- Deer resistant
- Excellent for erosion control
- Silky ivory plumes, golden tan fall color
- Heat tolerant, handles clay and rocky soils
- Reseeds less than Mexican Feather Grass in dry conditions
- Excellent vertical accent in borders, rock gardens, and hillside plantings
