If we have a hot summer I bet the Dyckias will be happy campers. If we have another one like last year...toast.<br /><br />A Year, it's that time of the year isn't it? We are all experiencing some ugly foliage. The thing is even your pictures of dead foliage look fabulous!<br /><br />Pam, I should leave my Sea Oats up sometime...they flop all over the place for me so I usually get fed up and cut'um back.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-88572272956536305062011-01-16T15:25:38.964-08:002011-01-16T15:25:38.964-08:00I actually like the golden (brown) foliage of Hako...I actually like the golden (brown) foliage of Hakonechloa in winter, and it's smart of you not to cut it back yet.
