Description:
If you don't have grasses in your garden then here is a good place to start. This is a fairly low maintenance grass that will bring brilliant architecture and colour to your late autumn/winter garden. People seem to either love or be confused by grasses. They're actually quite simply to grow, it's just a matter of using grasses to create texture, movement and as a foil in your garden. I'd 100% recommend giving them a try!
Care:
Grasses are very simple. Leave them all year and simply chop in early spring to allow new shoots to grow. Avoid soggy soil with this grass.
