Stipa is an ornamental grass that brings lightness and delicacy to every garden. Its feathery inflorescences sway in even the slightest breeze, adding an element of constant motion to your plantings. It looks great not only in flower beds but also in summer bouquets, where its texture nicely complements the full blooms of other plants.
These grasses originally come from sunny slopes and warmer regions. Therefore, they thrive in full sun and well-drained, sandy, or rocky soil. They handle summer drought with ease, while it is better to avoid heavy, permanently waterlogged soil.
To make your planting look natural, it is best to plant Stipa in loose groups of several pieces. It pairs beautifully with other drought-tolerant perennials, together creating a peaceful slice of nature that requires no complicated care and will bring you joy until late autumn.
