Mexican Feathergrass

A resilient native native Texas grass & sedge that provides year-round foliage and structure to the landscape. Native across the Chihuahuan Deserts, Mexican Feathergrass (Nassella tenuissima) thrives in local conditions while supporting the surrounding ecosystem. Distinguished by dark foliage that is light silvery green, it offers an exceptional visual and tactile texture. During summer, the plant produces white flower clusters. Flowering gives way to ornamental caryopsiss that ripen through summer and autumn. The species provides essential habitat and food, supporting Birds and Browsers. Thriving in calcareous, clay, dry, loam, moist, rocky, and well drained, Mexican Feathergrass demonstrates outstanding hardiness once established. It requires minimal supplemental water and adapts seamlessly to drought conditions. It features high deer resistance.
