How to Grow and Care for Featherbells

Feather fleece grows in moist woods, meadows, and thickets in the southeastern US. It is sometimes thought of as a type of grass, although it's actually a Stenanthium gramineum. The name comes from the Greek words stenos, meaning 'narrow,' and anthos, meaning 'flower.' feather fleece blooms for six weeks in late summer, attracting bees to its fragrant yellow-white flowers.

Crow poison boasts towering spikes of dense, creamy-white flowers reminiscent of feathery plumes, which rise above its basal rosette of long, narrow leaves. Thriving in moist meadows and woodlands, its blooms provide a striking contrast against the green backdrop in late summer to fall, attracting pollinators and giving life to its habitat.
