Golden oats (Stipa gigantea) is well named. A large evergreen grass up to 2 metres tall, in summer it produces long panicles of arching oat-like flowers that emerge purple before turning golden-brown as the season progresses and the deciduous leaves of other species begin to change colour and fall.
They are extremely easy to grow. All that is required to produce a show-stopping specimen is plenty of room in a sunny spot. They prefer a moderately fertile, free draining soil, but in truth will grow almost anywhere as long as light levels are good and temperatures don't fall below minus 10.
Height: 200 cms Spread: 80 cms over time
