Siberian Steppe Stipa Lessingiana Seeds

Grass – Stipa Lessingiana

This variety produces many plumes of soft feathery seed heads, ideal to whisk your hand through. The longer they stand the prettier they become. A really spectacular plant, similar to, but larger and finer than Stipa Tenuisima.

Sow at any time, in a well-lit position, into good, soil-based compost. Cover seeds thinly and keep moist at around 15 degrees C. Some New Zealand species can be very slow indeed and may need cooler temperatures before they will come up. Grass seedlings should be potted on and grown on singly, or in clumps for more rapid establishment of a large specimen.
