Diamond Grass (Calamagrostis brachyathera) |
Have Ornamental Grasses |
2017 Not filling out. May hit the boneyard.. 2018 Did better than last year. Hard downpours smashed it down, though. 2020: Did not fill out very well. I'll see how it does next year. 2021: Filled out nicely!!  Mom moved to Independent Living and it's still kept us about as busy as before she moved there. I fell this year before Mom's move and wound up with a herniated disc. so that wasn't helping matters. Basically gardening stopped with Mom's move.2022: Looking decent. Border is collapsing even more, but it's hanging in there. Life has gotten in the way to overshadow any work in the gardens. 2023: Still haven't fixed the border, but still hanging in. Just too busy with the new Etsy shop, fighting my depression, and visiting Mom. March 2024: Dreaming for the third year to fix that pathway border. LOLOL Update on how this specimen is doing to come later. |
April 1, 2015: Maintenance performed (Moved to split in path. Second specimen located at the end of the pathway. NE corner of the kennel.) April 17, 2017: Obtained plant (Obtained from Springhill Nurseries) June 4, 2017: Miscellaneous Event (Both specimens not filling out at all. May be headed for the boneyard!) |

Sedge (Carex Censation™ Feather Falls™) |
Have Ornamental Grasses |
6/23 for hosta garden by the large red flower pot. 3/2024, Still haven't planted this poor thing. I hope it survives until Spring! Fortunately our Winter has been mostly mild. Just too busy or depressed to do anything outside last year. |

Northern Sea Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium) |
Have Trade as seed Ornamental Grasses |
(8) Specimens. (5) in the E Porch Garden & (3) in NE tree garden. 2023: the five specimens were not thriving due to very dry soil. I took the ones that were still alive and transplanted them, in the NE tree garden. I combined some clumps in one hole. I did the same thing with the surviving clumps by the tree, but transplanted them elsewhere in the tree garden, before adding all the hosta there. 3/3/2024:Hoping the transplants will survive the winter. LOL |
April 1, 2012: Obtained plant March 15, 2017: Plant emerged |

Blue Fescue (Festuca trachyphylla) |
Have Ornamental Grasses |
3/3/2024 Hoping to divide and plant in new locations this year. | June 4, 2017: Maintenance performed (2017 Dug up 2 specimens a few days ago, divided into four specimens and waiting to be transplanted to new homes! Fall 2017, just couldn't find the time to plant all four. Lost three, but planted one in the front by the driveway. Perfect location....very happy!!) |

Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis) |
Have Ornamental Grasses |
2011- New Water during extreme drought conditions. Workhorse in the garden! Thriving very well to date!!🙋 |
May 23, 2018: Miscellaneous Event (Our winter weather extended in to early May, this year, and this specimen is looking really scraggly.  I've noticed that ornamental grasses in commercial landscapes are struggling too, so my guess is this unusually cold Spring is the culprit. Hoping it will bounce back, this year.  ) |
 |
Zebra Grass (Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus') |
Have Ornamental Grasses |
(2) Planted in Mixed Living Fence Garden. Southern most specimen thriving. The other is struggling with morning shade. 2017 Northern specimen has more sun, now that the old tree is gone. Southern specimen thriving! 2018 Expecting them both to be filled out, we had extended Winter temps, and they were looking pathetic. Was going to split the southern specimen, this year, but decided not to bc of the Winter stress. That specimen is now thriving! The northern specimen has filled out some. 3/3/2024: Last year the south specimen grew huge!! Want to divide, but don't want to keep the division. LOL I'll probably put it up on Trash Nothing or something. |
May 23, 2018: Miscellaneous Event (Our winter weather extended in to early May, this year, and I'm afraid I lost one specimen completely, and the other is looking really scraggly. I've noticed that ornamental grasses in commercial landscapes are struggling too, so my guess is this unusually cold Spring is the culprit. Hoping it will bounce back, this year. ) |
