Celtica gigantea formerly known as Stipa gigantea (Giant Feather Grass) flowering with purple Perovskia (Russian Sage)

Celtica gigantea formerly known as Stipa gigantea Giant Feather Grass, is a perennial grass adapted to many summer-dry climate gardens. This grass features tall, erect stems topped with airy plumes of feathery flowers, creating a striking vertical element in the landscape. Giant Feather Grass is known for its graceful, arching habit and is often used to add movement and texture to garden beds and borders.

Native to the mediterranean regions of Europe,Celtica gigantea thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. This grass is extremely drought tolerant once established, making it ideal for water-wise landscapes. Giant Feather Grass is relatively low-maintenance and requires minimal water once established, making it a great choice for xeriscape gardens.

In addition to its ornamental value, Celtica gigantea provides habitat for wildlife and can be used to stabilize slopes and prevent erosion. When planted in mass, this grass creates a soft, ethereal look reminiscent of a meadow in full bloom. Consider pairing Giant Feather Grass with other drought-tolerant plants like purple Perovskia (Russian Sage) for a stunning summer display.
