Nassella tenuissima - Mexican Feather Grass is an attractive, drought-tolerant bunchgrass with fine leaves and a narrow inflorescence that sways gracefully in the wind. Unfortunately, it readily escapes from cultivation in nearby disturbed areas including sidewalk cracks, driveways, and tree wells. It is well established as a weed in the area of San Francisco Bay, California, and has been found as an escape in Oregon.
