I can't vouch for that one .. did she tell you what it is ?? let me know too ??

And admit...Joy, my dear, are you smoking pot again? And admitting it on the internet to thousands of people? Oh, you mean grass for the garden...LOL... Well, I hate to admit it but I am a little scared of planting grasses in my garden. It's not that I don't like them, I do; in fact, I think they are absolutely gorgeous. I'm just afraid that they'll all get huge and take over the garden! I'm probably being ridiculous, and maybe in time I'll get more comfortable with them. I do have two planted in the garden. One you gave me, the other was given to me by my neighbour, so I’m headed in the right direction.Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-1404051708270247412010-09-09T15:16:31.363-04:002010-09-09T15:16:31.363-04:00Rose girl .. that is what I think holds a lot of g...Rose girl .. that is what I think holds a lot of gardeners back .. they think GRASS?? but they haven't seen enough of what is out there that is so beautiful in ornamental grass !<br />There is one for just about any situation and I love my Shenandoah to bits too ! I only wish I had bought multiples last year .. but I have a few others that will be growing up fast so I have to keep them in mind too. What I would suggest when you do get Karley Rose or any other large fountain grass , is to have a center stake or obelisk in the middle of the grass .. let the grass begin growing around it and then carefully (as the grass gets larger) wrap green garden tape or wire around the base and come up a little each time you see the mound begin to flop or look like it needs support .. that way it looks much more beautiful in the vase shape .. elegant .. not floppy! : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-84361346656573144002010-09-09T09:06:29.981-04:002010-09-09T09:06:29.981-04:00You've convinced me, Joy!

I am one of those naysayers who has avoided planting any grasses because we have so many weedy grasses growing around our farm, and I didn't want anything in the garden that looked like a "weed":) But...a month ago I decided to take the plunge. I went to an excellent nearby nursery and had such a helpful, patient young man advise me as I walked back and forth trying to decide. I finally bought two of the 'Shenandoahs,' so I'm glad to hear you are happy with yours. 'Karly Rose' was a close second, and I am just going to have to find a place for her; love those waving tails:) Thanks for so many great suggestions!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-2115857052436539642010-09-09T06:32:54.158-04:002010-09-09T06:32:54.158-04:00Hello Rebecca : ) ..

I loved them and had to find something "perennial" to take its place .. then away I went a little nuts but I love them all and I sneak more in as I can !<br />Try it ? you will love them !<br />I love our shed to pieces .. the potential is there for really CUTE window boxes but we have to find light weight supporters for them or trouble will ensue! .. Sheds are such a benchmark if they are smack in the garden like mine is for a small garden .. so you have to do it right ? LOL<br /><br />Pats sweetie I think Identified "All Gold" wrongly.. I thin it is of the Bowles side of the family and I also have to keep within the shade tolerant ones for the most part .. this HUGE Pacific Sunset maple is much bigger than I estimated !! eeekkk ! haha<br />I am OBSESSED with watching Morning Light and Shenandoah .. I am totally in LOVE with them ;-)CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-80743722456880461342010-09-08T19:39:27.568-04:002010-09-08T19:39:27.568-04:00Eddie:

I would be lost without Hakonechloa 'All Gold' and have come to love Carex 'Ice Dance' and C. Elata 'Bowles Golden'.
