[SG] RE - ORNAMENTAL GRASS

Hi Vicky
If tou are looking for a tall grass,try to find yourself Miscanthus
Malepartus,cant go wrong there,the plant it self gets about 5 feet tall
with about a 2 foot seperration between the foliage and plume.The plume
is very large and deep red in color,however,as with most of the
Miscanthus variety after the sun is on them for a few weeks the plume
will become silver in color and buff by winter.
M.Malepartus has great fall colors of burnt orange to deep red,very
hardy and a good strong grower.
If you are looking for Pennisetum (Fountain Grass) I woudnt be afraid to
try
P.Cassian,P.Hameln or even the species
P.Alopecuroides
If you want Panicum (Switch Grass) look for Heavy Metal (Blue Switch
Grass) or
Rotstrahlbusch (Red Switch Grass)
