Grasses
Little slow to get going but probably due to small size. This season may see some improvement in growth.

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 first planted 9 of these randomly in a bed with Ragged Robin, salvia and Gaura but it didn't really work - I replanted them in the Autumn adjacent to each other in a drift across the bed and they already look much better, especially when the breeze blows all the leaves in the same direction. Interesting to look at even in the winter. They self seed so you can pot up extra plants.

Bought three of these to run along the edge of part of our drive. They were quite small when they arrived inthe spring but established well and looked nice and wafty all summer and not too tall (2') Its December now and they still look good. This was my first dabble into grasses and it was a good choice. The aspect was very sunny and dry with poor soil so I didn't know how it would go. A big👍

A lovely plant that has a billowy movement when established and live the gold ends that wave in the breeze.

Hello, Ideally this should be tackled in early spring.

Hello, All these grasses are fully hardy so wont be put off by the cold weather. The Miscanthus and the Stipa however prefer a well drained soil,. Therefore if your soil is heavy and remains waterlogged for any length of time in winter, then these are best planted in Spring.

Hello there Yes you can plant them closer together,- it depends on the look you are wanting to create. If you wanted the plants to grow into each other, then plant then a bit closer, but this stipa looks lovely planted further apart so the soft plumes can cascade and billow in a breeze. The 9cm plant is a younger plant, so the rootball will be smaller than a 2lt plant, but the 9cm plant can be planted directly out into the garden now. Hope this helps.

Hello, This very beautiful grass will get to around 60cm tall and 30cm wide.
As the days shorten, the autumn sun sinks a little lower every day and begins to backlight the borders, picking up detail and silhouette. There’s plenty to enjoy,- seed heads, in autumnal shades of brown and silver take centre stage, often lasting until m
