My money's on Carex. It doesn't look like Stipa gigantea, which has wider leaves, and it looks too coarse for Stipa tenuissima. Obviously, there are other stipas but if you didn't buy it from a grass specialist I think it looks more like a carex.

Stipa tenuissima is a bit more upright too. My money is also on a Carex

Carexes have solid stems, and they're usually triangular, so it's easy enough to check.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
