David takes us into our nursery, and shows us one of the most popular Ornamental Grasses we produce. Easy to grow and hardy throughout our region, this extremely easy to look after (low maintenance) grass forms arching clumps of finely textured foliage that turn to rich, warm, autumnal shades, and is covered with delightful and long lasting, bottle-bush like inflorescences that move and gently sway in the breeze. This is quite simply, a plant that should command a spot in everyone’s garden.
Here’s why it has proven so popular and why you should consider adding it to areas around your home:
