Re: ornamental grass

Kitty,
I totally agree. I have several invasives that I have to work on to keep in bounds. Now I have Oenothera Siskyou -- MEXICAN EVENING PRIMROSE in full bloom. It will die back later but come back next spring even stronger. I love the soft blooms and invite it to spread knowing that I will need to pull it out to keep up with it.

Something that people love here is Sundrops, Oenothera fruticosa. It's a
spreader and it is very pretty in bloom, makes a real impact for a pretty
long period of time. But just this morning I was talking things over with
someone from BBB about removing some of them because they over-ran her
Salvias - couldn't even find them. If you want a monoculture of ribbon
grass or sundrops, that's fine, but if you'd like something else to survive
in there, or if you'd like each plant to have a chance to stand out, you
need to curb those spreaders. If you want those distinctions and you're not
into maintenance, you have to skip the vigorous spreaders.

Kitty,
You are so right.... and here in Ok I think if it isn't a bit invasive it
can't make it. So I don't say that to make it sound like a bad plant.
