Description

Peruvian Feather Grass (Stipa ichu, Jarava ichu) is an ornamental perennial grass that forms upright clumps of fine, graceful foliage. Its medium-green blades mature to golden brown, while shimmering silver-white flowerheads rise above the foliage in summer, creating a soft, feathery display. The delicate seed heads rustle in the breeze, adding gentle movement and sound to the garden. Ideal for sunny borders, naturalistic landscapes, and ornamental grass groupings, this distinctive grass brings airy texture and year-round visual interest.
