Chantal,

I have phaenosperma globosa in a west facing bed.   It receives some early
morning and late afternoon sun.   It gets no supplemental watering.  I have
found that the flower stems dry well for indoor arrangements.   My grass
book says that it needs a sunny site but, from my experience, this does not
seem necessary.   I would also be interested in a book on worldwide grasses.
