Have a look at anemanthele lessoniana. It's hard to separate the background from the grass in the pic but if you look at a few images you'll see if that's it
In the sticks near Peterborough
I do have one of those (without realising, so thanks) a bit further back in the same border. I looked at my images and before the seed heads open they look abit like sweetcorn tops. If you enlarge top middle the seeds look like very long needles.
Were they very long and wispy when in flower?

I will try to take a close up tomorrow and add to the thread
Good idea

I hate to disagree with you nutcutlet, but isn't it a bit rigid for anemanthele lessoniana?
Yes, you're right Hostafan.
Gardenmaiden found that one elsewhere in the garden
It's a bit dark now or I'd go and see what remains of Stipa pennata

Have you been getting private tuition Hostafan
I've been to look at what's left of Stipa pennata and the heads are similar but not so sure re the colour of the stems/leaves

I've taken a couple more pics. This is the seed head
This is the seed head as its opening

Individual seeds
I couldn't get any closer without it blurring.
