RE: one more question about a grass


Susan,  yes part shade is great.  I think it holds the color better than in
sun.  Mine only lived 3-4 years, but as I said - I abused it.

How short lived?

Do you think it would tolerate some shade?

Susan,  it is Deschampsia caespitosa 'Northern Lights'.  Short clumps, multi
colored with lots of pink in the spring.  For me, rather short lived and
because my borders are stuffed - it was easily overgrown.  It deserved
better than what it got from me!

Saw a grass in a friend's garden and she could only remember the variety
name "Northern Lights."  Can anyone tell me which grass it is, the botanical
name, or anything else about it?
