Feather grass
Spangled with dew in the morning or after a light shower, the silvery flower panicles of feather grasses light up a garden. Fine-textured Mexican feather grass dances at the slightest puff of wind, providing movement like a billowing wave. The tall panicles of giant feather grass also catch the breeze and are so airy that they can be positioned in front of more substantial plants as a "see-through" companion. It may self-seed to the point of becoming a nuisance.
