Stipa gigantea — Giant Golden Oat Grass — forms clumps of arching, narrow green foliage, below a fountain of slender stems bearing oat-like, greenish-purple flowers that shimmer in the breeze. The seedheads fade to old gold before dropping their seeds, while the stems remain upright well into winter, looking beautiful when edged in frost.
A fine architectural plant that makes a real statement in the garden, introducing sound, movement and textural lightness into a space. It combines well with perennials such as Achillea and Echinacea, and Allium bulbs. Low maintenance — in spring, simply cut back faded stems to the main clump and lightly trim any frayed leaves. It thrives in full sun in a light to medium, fairly fertile, well-drained soil.
