Stipa ‘Wind Whispers

Stipa ‘Wind Whispers’ is not another marketing name for Stipa tenuissima but a subspecies which is slightly different. It is slightly less smooth to the touch and will grow to 36” while S. tenuissima will never make more than 24”, so it could more suitable for some situations. (By the way if anybody is offering you Stipa tenuissima ‘Pony Tails’ ask them if they are propagating a selected form by division. If they are not, what they are offering is Stipa tenuissima and that is it. Pony Tails is the common name)
