I forgot to mention three lovely Miscanthus that used to be in my front garden. They were gorgeous, until it rained in early fall and they flopped over. I grew to hate that plant and all the work it created.<br /><br />MulchMaid, "packed landscape"...I'm feeling the same. Where is there room? I fear winter will create a few bare spots.<br /><br />ricki, really?<br /><br />Les, I think there are many that would agree with you.<br /><br />Wyatt, being a dog do you find that they are wonderful places to lay?<br /><br />Pam, you must have quite a few grasses that are happy in your harsh summer conditions?<br /><br />Darla, ah!

I think they need some breathing-room to look their best. That said, the stars of my southern side are three Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster', now in their third year and magnificent!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-50727288695770753872011-09-29T10:58:36.930-07:002011-09-29T10:58:36.930-07:00I really like grasses, both the big, bold ones lik...I really like grasses, both the big, bold ones like Miscanthus and Molinia and also the smaller ones like that lovely black Ophiopogon. In my opinion they look great in a spiky/architectural garden.<br /><br />I have quite a few in my garden, but my favourite is Molinia caer. subsp arund. 'Skyracer'. It is a tall, well-behaved grass that looks great at the moment swaying gently in the wind. It also looks nice after the frosts have arrived because it goes a bleached blonde colour and normally stays quite upright until the wind or snow knocks the stems over.Adam Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881789581642870051noreply@blogger.com
