One customer describes this grass planted along our pathway as looking like runway lights. The color is very bright in spring and very welcome.

This grass doesn't spread except to increase in a clump form. A favorite of mine and of many garden designers for all-season appeal and low maintenance.

One of our designers says this one looks like a waterfall. I agree. Low maintenance and something to see all year long -- what more could you ask?

Spectacular planted in mass, as a border or in a single clump. The secret to this grass is neglect. Unless you live in a total drought area, don't water it. Truly a low maintenance grass and an all season of interest grass. During the summer it is an intense blue and in the fall, the different shades of purple take over. Our first snows against the fall colors continue the show.
