Nassella tenuissima
Finestem needlegrass or Mexican feather grass
(syn. Stipa tenuissima)
The narrow green blades of this southwestern native form a tidy fountaining clump. In early summer silvery cream-colored flowers open to resemble downy feathers that sway gently with the breeze. In fall the flowers turn amber and remain attractive through winter. Not tolerant of winter wet.
