Ditto Scott and Loretta. For a couple of years there was no fence between me and my neighbor to the south and this young Karl Foerster thrived. The fence is back now and it's puny this year. Looking for a better location for it now, but I don't have much space
I don't have an ID on this. It now gets only a couple hours of sun a day and I thought that was why it has languished — neighbor to the west planted a mulberry tree which has blocked the sun. I was wrong! This year we had unseasonable heavy spring rains and it burst into song. . . it wanted more water!
So airy it's hard to photograph
Blue grama liked the rain, too
