Pheasant Tail Grass, Also Known As ; New Zealand Wind Grass - fast growing -
An impressive ornamental grass that grows extremely fast in its comfort zone (Zones 8-10). Nice and tight shape that ends up being around 3' x 3'. By mid summer develops some of the most delicate flowing seed heads that you will see on an ornamental grass. These will turn a nice rusty orange above the bright green foliage in late summer and into the fall. An evergreen that can handle a cut back about every couple of years or so to refresh its look. A favorite for landscape designers and gardeners in general.
Plant Care
Planting:
Sow seeds in spring, in containers in a cold frame (for protection and to ensure hardiness). Can also propagate by division in mid-spring to early summer.
Plant Growth:
Evergreen or deciduous, perennial grasses that are tufted and bristly. Stipas do well in the sun and plant height varies depending on species. One species of Stipa will grow to 3 ft. tall. S. arundinacea tolerates partial shade. Stipa works well in a mixed or shrub border. The inflorescences are suitable for cutting, and are often dyed to use as part of a flower ensemble.
Blooming:
Produces flattened spikelets with feathery awns between early summer and fall.
Soil and Irrigation:
Irrigation needs vary depending on species. S. gigantea requires ample water until it is established. S. tenuissimus requires regular waterings. Does best in moderately fertile, medium-light soil with good drainage. S. arudinacea withstands heavy soils.
Pruning:
Deciduous species should be cut back in early winter. Dead leaves of evergreens should be clipped off in early spring.
