Some of the best known grasses are in this family but there are lots of others too. Drained soil in sun suits most of them. Many with fine airy foliage and flowers all summer.
Clumps of upright stems with mid green leaves to 90cm. Topped with soft plumes of feathery golden buff flowers in late summer. Best in good, drained soil in full sun. (syn. Acnatherum c.)
Giant Feather Grass. The largest early flowering grass we grow. Rich bronze oat-like flowers up to 25cm long and 2m tall. A superb specimen plant and very drought tolerant.
