A typical bunch grass native to the steppes of Europe and Asia. The stems of this perennial are straight, sectionally round and almost erect. This grass blooms in late spring with its most striking feature, 20 cm long loops of hairy silvery white flower panicles. In central Iberia it thrives in shallow, dry soils, on stony ground and mountain fields or dry sloping hill sides. Typically grows in clumps of between 60 - 90 cm. It can be used as a specimen or planted in small groups. The light feathery flower panicles sit well amongst many late spring flowering perennials, bringing movement and contrast to plant combinations, the informal light structure when in flower lends itself to the prairie grassland appearance many gardeners are trying to achieve.
Traditional uses include soft brush making for sweeping floors and whitewashing walls.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
