Feather Top Grass Seeds

Feather Top Grass has large creamy, fuzzy plumes that grow up to 6" long in the late summer atop robust clumps of grass. A beautiful addition to bouquets, and a big statement in the garden.

Ornamental grass gives your garden an ethereal quality when the light filters through it. The plumes dry out for a golden winter interest, or you can harvest and dry them.

Includes 50 seeds
