I once had an Oriental Fountaingrass, native to around the Caspian Sea, here that kept wanting to spread out way too much along the west side of the garage. I replaced it with these two Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparius) grasses several years ago behind Tree Face, and they look very good all winter. |

| Good! The larger selections of Miscanthus are rough and hard to work with. Anyway, native species are nicer. |

| I haven't gotten into grasses in my gardens yet. With my woodland setting, I didn't think they would look right and probably not the right growing conditions anyway. Then I got thinking about the Hakone grasses after getting a dark green and a chartreuse green division from Jan in NJ at one of our Mid Atlantic swaps. They look like they fit in nicely and I'd like to add more. If I ever get to landscaping around the pond, some of the other kinds of grasses might be an option there.

| Thanks that you like Tree Face! The Bottlebrush Grass of Hystrix patula grows well along woods as does the Bur Sedge (Carex grayii) and Fox Sedge (Carex vulpinoidea) and Plantain-leaved Sedge of (Carex plantaginea) are all great native, easy grass plants. |
