Stipa ichu

A beautiful grass from Peru where it grows on elevated dry plateau on gravelly ground. In Australia it tends to flower autumn to winter, and prefers to dry off in summer, although in mild areas it seems to flower continuously if dead headed. Cut older plants back to half after flowering once growth begins to show signs of drying off.  The white flowers are very attractive in mass plantings, and so far the grass has not self sowed. A lower slowish growing variety that doesnt like wet feet.
