| dnrevel | On May 16, 2023 | Transplanted Planted in the front yard mailbox garden. A favorite *annual* from two years ago. Growing again because it is such a lovely, pretty grass that may look lovely in cut flower arrangements. Research it though as I read that the seed heads are fragile and easily shatter, yet it makes a nice dried seed head. |
