Whether you are calling it Stipa tenuissima or Nassella tenuissima, the combined effect of sun and wind on the Mexican feather grass is just the same. Poetry in motion.

It is a fabulous grass, I didn’t know it was Nasella now, I can’t keep up with it all.

Me neither! I had a feeling that it had changed so looked it up. All I can think of is Nutella now. 🙂

Nutella. That’s what we’ll call it then.

I have too few grasses in my garden. Does Nutella behave herself? Or does she have to be divided using a great deal of effort like my miscanthus, a job I’ve been postponing for quite some time.

She seeds herself a bit, is that a problem? Perhaps or perhaps not! Much more delicate than miscanthus which is a bit of brute, a beautiful one, but not when you have to divide one. Do you saw it?

I haven’t done it yet, but I’m going to try with the gardening fork underneath. I know it’s going to be tough unless I put a lot of water on the ground. We’ve only had a few drops of rain, so it’s very dry. I can’t imagine taking a saw to the Miscanthus.
Seeding, in the case of Nutella, wouldn’t be a problem, I think I’d be quite happy with that.

Yes, a fork or spade to get it out, then saw it up! 🙂 Good luck.

Motion is one of the few elements that most landscape designers do not consider in a landscape.
