Nassella tenuissima (Mexican Feather Grass)

From CONPS: Popular in landscaping for its delicate, thread-like leaves that billow gracefully in even the slightest breeze.

Given the right conditions - well-drained soil, the right amount of water, and adequate sunlight - this grass can even become invasive outside of its native range. But within its range and in well-managed landscapes, it is a welcome addition to the garden that can add a dramatic softening touch to harder-edged plants and architecture.
