Connie,
I think I am growing this, but lost the tag. I remember buying it because of
the statement that it was dwarf, not invasive, and like ribbon grass. It's
true, if this is what I have. In fact, I put it in a hostile area just to be
sure it didn't take over, and is just about a 6" clump after 3 years. I
didn't think it was going to live because the area is really dry. Now, I
guess that won't answer your question about invasiveness if it's in an area
with good conditions. It's very attractive. I don't remember where I got
it, however, maybe Minnesota at the regional in, what (?) 96? Tom Mich. or
Beth, help me out. Remember the nursery you, Beth, maybe Irwin, and I went to?
