Ornamental grasses

in winter. Blue fescue is no good here either. I wouldn't ever plant a border full of grasses though. I like more variety of colour and leaf shape and also flowers in my borders. Ok......I'm in the minority then. I grow miscanthus variegated....it doesn by christopher2

covering large slope

could intersperse these shrubs with clumps of easy care grasses such as miscanthus which are hardy, come in various heights and will provide movement as they sway in the wind a well as food for birds in autumn. Have a look also at spreading conifers by Kate42
