Stipa tenuissima ‘Pony Tails’ is an ornamental grass grown for its ultra-fine texture and flowing movement rather than bold colour or height. Narrow, thread-like leaves form a soft mound that shifts constantly in the breeze, creating a light, dynamic effect in borders and gravel planting. In summer, delicate flower heads rise above the foliage, catching the light and adding to the plant’s airy appearance. As the season progresses, the colour softens to pale blonde tones, extending its visual appeal into autumn. Best used where drainage is excellent, ‘Pony Tails’ works beautifully in modern, naturalistic, and Mediterranean-style gardens, offering movement and texture with very little maintenance.
