I'd never seen anything like it, and it had broad, flat leaves rather than the thinner, cylindrical type. I've since found you can also get a similar grass in red. I do intend to get a few maybe later in the year/next year, as I'm re-vamping the garden first and don't know yet where I'm putting them. Interested to see how you get on with yours, especially that unknown one in its own pot - looks intriguing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188603527602084352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-20546342670241507572014-02-24T14:04:43.155+00:002014-02-24T14:04:43.155+00:00I am fond of ornamental grasses which includes var...I am fond of ornamental grasses which includes varieties of plants of the genera Poaceae (true grasses), Juncaceaceae (rushes), and Cyperaceae (sedges). People are little acquainted with the use of ornamental grasses in planing our gardens. Just check how Piet Oudolf does it. I think you'll love it.Vesna Marichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265502263728106716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-12638653252948365942014-02-24T13:53:26.574+00:002014-02-24T13:53:26.574+00:00I've never been too fond of them although some...I've never been too fond of them although some can be rather pretty.

They are popular here as they are such low maintenance. We have one kind of grass planted in our garden (well besides the lawn grass), but I've never liked the variety as it isn't a very showy one. The cats seem to love it though.
