Sowing Ornamental Grasses

Posted: 16/04/2013 at 22:44

Still time to sow hordeum jubatum.....this is the foxtail,barley.
Beautiful grass with tones of,purple, pink, grey and every other subtle colour that billow much like stipa Tennuissima, another grass that's easy by seed.
These two grasses will quickly become your favourite, mark my word

Leave the hose running over the area.
Ant powder under polythene, etc to,keep rain off
Nematodes ...in a few weeks...are very effective
Ants have become a nuisance over past couple of years but controllable

Matty,
Gaura lindheimerii Corries gold is a stunner. 3' tall green n white leaves, more white than green, and pure white butterfly flowers all summer. Check it out. Bet you'll want it. I have it standing behind a dwarf purple berberis

Have to agree that ceanothus Zanzibar is dreadful. A friend has one and I'm always telling her to get rid of it.
Buttercup,ivy too is lovely if annually pruned and I agree that the variegated lavenders aren't too great
Yes Brum, Fairygirl likes YOUR hostas but not my plants!!!!!
I grow a variegated salvia....red flowers on green n white foliage. Eye catching but maybe too loud.....maybe a lady's plant cos it's always..."ooooooh" from them
Who,wouldn't prefer the variegated liriope to the straight version? Astrantia Sunningdale is stunning too. Variegated Arabis and aubretia as well as variegated osteospermum....Gweek variegated.
Bet I,persuade a few of you to get some and then you will be hooked......hooked I tell you

No, Fairygirl..not morning light. It's got thin narrowly striped leaves and different habit.
Now, lookee here Fairygirl ...first you curse and swear at me on another thread and now you are undermining my opinion on this one. Tut tut........ha ha
Hope you had good day
