Always reliable
I used them as edging to the lawn, gave a very neat but informal effect. Crocus is the only plant firm that has never disappointed

"I've seen this versatile grass used to great effect in containers, planted as a dwarf edging in a Mediterranean garden, or just dotted through a gravelled area and it always looks terrific, excellent for contemporary gardens"

Really lovely little grass plant that brings interest to a graveled area of my garden and in summer sprouts really attractive seed heads. Nothing seems to phase it.

On arrival the grass didn't look much to be honest and I wondered if it would become established. Ever the optimist I planted it in my gravel garden along with the other grasses I purchased from Crocus. Not much happened for the first month however by the end of August I had the most spectacular display of grasses which I was delighted with.

Bought several plants to edge a new raised border prior to selling house. Liked them so much will put them in new garden! New shoots popped up in no time. Very healthy and easy to look after.

Needed something to go at the front of a border, so i chose this. A favourite grass of mine and it looks wonderful planted with Carex Evergold. Added a handful of grit to the planting hole to aid drainage and this year has grown wonderfully.

I have bought more of these - their colour really sets off other plants well - purple-foliage hebes, dark heuchera, black mondo grass etc. Also good on front edge of a bed near darker coloured plants such as loropetalum. Texture is a contrast to the usual leaf-shaped plants too.

Hello there I have heard that birds can use this grass for nesting material, but otherwise it is not known for being particularly wildlife friendly.
