Description
Pony Tails Grass, also called Mexican feather Grass, is a delicate looking but tough and drought tolerant ornamental grass with graceful foliage and airy flower heads that provide a unique, soft texture in the landscape or garden. The foliage and the flowers sway gently with the slightest breeze, providing movement in the garden. Excellent in garden beds or pots.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 18 to 24 inches tall and wide, Pony Tails Grass is ideal for use as a grassy accent in smaller garden spaces and container gardens, where it provides a unique, wispy texture that contrasts nicely with other types of plants. In larger landscape spaces it is especially dramatic planted in groupings, mass plantings or borders, creating a soft but stunning effect. A fine addition to rock gardens, ornamental grass gardens, and combined with other drought tolerant plants in the sunny Xeriscape (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing: 18 inches apart for mass planting; 36 inches or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Pony Tails Grass is very easy to grow in a loose, very well-drained soil and full sun to light shade. Maintenance is minimal; prune one time a year in late winter before new growth begins to emerge in spring.
Plant Long & Prosper!

My six 1 gallon plants arrived yesterday looking very healthy. I’ve never received plants so carefully packed! Often I get plants thrown together in a box. Not these! They were all kept separate from each other with cardboard partitions, with protective tape over the tops of the pots so they would not spill any soil and would stay hydrated during shipping. Obviously, you-all love your plants! Thank you very much.————————————We sure do! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review and the kind words! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
