This grass is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its foliage in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose it all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

I have booked two dresses at opposite ends of a bed. The glasses look really healthy and are shaped nicely. They require no attention, and Frame the bed really well.

I think I chose a spot that was too shaded and this has caused them to grow quite slowly, but they are healthy and look lovely despite this. I plan to move them to a sunnier spot in the spring and hopefully they will be happier there.

I used three of these grasses to go into a small gravel garden area, so as they would spray over onto some stepping stones. They arrived in excellent condition and have matured into very nice robust grasses.

Hello, Yes, these plants are fully hardy, so should be outside in the garden throughout the year. If planting in summer, then the only thing you need to keep in mind is that they will need lots of water in the high temperatures.

Hello, This plant does tend to self seed quite freely, however I would not say it is particularly invasive as the parent plant tends to be relatively short lived.

Hello, You can in fact do either. This is a deciduous grass, but if you leave it uncut, it will provide interest throughout the winter. By this time of the year you can usually remove all the dead foliage by combing your fingers through it, but if you want a neater (and faster) option, then you can just cut it back. As for the Stipa gigantea, this tends to be evergreen, so it is best just to gently remove the dead bits by hand.

Hello There, Grasses are usually cut back in the autumn to neaten them up, however they can be left until spring if you prefer to keep their winter silhouettes. It won't affect their growth at all though as they are coming into their dormant period now, so will put on loads of new growth in spring. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor
