Drought tolerant 3 ft. clump grass very similar to Stipa comata. Both grow from plains to woodlands, 3,000 - 7,000 ft. elevation, Feathergrass with a slightly more southerly range. Both are good forage except when flowering in spring. Sweeps of Stipa in nature appear set apart by their lighter color & long, silvery heads. You may not wish to plant where your pets play, but don't miss out on Stipas' dramatic beauty.
