Hi Gene ,
Can I give you my own experience about grasses? In Europe, they are very
fashionable by now. I suppose it's because we're looking for a more natural
aspect in our borders
I use carex morrowii and hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' (I do love that one,
plus it's avery good pot plant) since a long time in my garden.
Do you know luzula sylvatica? It's a very good ground cover in dry shade.
There is a form with white margins and I saw a carpet of them under a prunus
serrula in a garden, it was splendid!
I have too millium effusum 'Aureum' in dry shade, self-seeding, but this one
is annual.
A friend of mine gave me a bit of phaenosperma globosa which is a bold
grasse,2' green leaves and 4' flower stems, I tried it in dry light shade
and it's sounds to like it. I would like to have more info about this one.
Does anybody know a good book about grasses. I would like one concerning
worldwide grasses and not only Europe ones.
