Description:
Nassella tenuissima, also known as Mexican feather grass, is a delicate ornamental grass native to the southwestern United States, northern Mexico, and Argentina. It forms wispy clumps of narrow foliage and produces tan plumes that reach up to 2 feet tall in late spring. While it is a popular choice for gardens due to its graceful appearance, it is considered a major threat to native ecosystems in Australia. This grass is drought-tolerant and can self-seed, making it a low-maintenance option for xeriscaping.
