Mexican Feather Grass (Nassella tenuissima) is a graceful, fine-textured ornamental grass prized for its silky movement and airy presence in the landscape. Growing 1–2 feet tall and wide in Zones 5–10, it forms a soft, fountain-like mound of hair-thin bright green blades topped with delicate, feathery plumes that mature from creamy tan to warm wheat tones. Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, this drought-tolerant grass excels in rock gardens, slopes, borders, and mass plantings where erosion control and texture are desired. Deer- and rabbit-resistant and requiring minimal maintenance, Mexican Feather Grass brings year-round interest, natural elegance, and effortless motion to modern and natural-style gardens alike.
- READY TO PLANT: Includes 12 Mexican Feather Grass (Nassella tenuissima) starter plants in 2.5″ cubes. Each plant is well-rooted and ready to thrive. Natural variations in size, color, or seasonal appearance may occur.
- ABOUT THIS PLANT: An ornamental grass for USDA Zones 5–10, growing 1–2 ft tall and wide with a fountain-like habit with ultra-fine foliage and airy, silky tan-wheat toned plumes, turning golden brown in winter.

| Product Care Instructions | After unpacking, place your new plants in bright, filtered light for the first few days to help them adjust. Avoid freezing or extreme heat. Keep the soil lightly moist, watering when the top inch feels dry. This short acclimation period helps your plant settle into its new environment. When transplanting, plant at the same soil depth as it was in the pot and ensure well-draining soil. Continue learning and observing your plant’s needs—sunlight, water, and rest will help it thrive. |
