Re: Two grasses for shade

Hi Cindy,

Thanks so much for the info. I'll steer clear of the Blue Lyme Grass,
unless someone can provide a good defense for it.

On the Snowy Woodrush, I have heard the flowers are delightful and are
also good in dried arrangements. Can you attest to that? Can you remember
where you got your plant(s)? THanks again.

Grass because I heard it's extremely invasive.  Anybody know?  I do like
Snowy Woodrush though and if memory serves, I think it's a native plant
here.  It's a nice small grass and I've grown it in dappled shade under
oaks.  I moved it one year late in the season and didn't keep it watered
enough (at least that's what I thought).  It died over winter and I've
since replaced it.  It has a kind of fuzzy appearance to the leaves and it
stays in a nice clump.  I didn't realize there are cultivars of it.
