The Golden Oat grass, Stipa gigantea, is a robust and impressive grass that over time can reach 2m in height. Preferring a sheltered site in moist but well drained soil it is hardy throughout most of the UK. The tufted panicles of fluffy purple flowers are marvellous in summer as part of a prairie stye planting scheme, fading gently to gold where they will stand well right through the winter months, before being cut back in early spring to make way for the next year's growth.
