Paul, that's interesting. What is it about spreading roots that they can

p.s. At Green Value Nursery where I used to work, they planted the giant
Miscanthus floridulus as shade for their hostas! One of the pix in the Shady
Oaks 2000 catalog (pp91)is taken from this area at Green Value. It's the top
