Foerster's Feather Reed Grass
One of the best cool season grasses with vertical growth to 4' tall.
Always regains its upright posture even after heavy rains. The flowers
appear in June and look nice all summer and fall remaining attractive through
most of winter. Can be used as a hedge as it grows tall and upright.
Nice also in groupings for vertical effect. The seeds are sterile,
which, of course, means the plant will not self-seed. |

Revenna Grass, Plume Grass or Hardy Pampas Grass
In areas with cold winter, where Pampas Grass is not hardy enough to
survive, this is a great substitute. Although big, this plant is not invasive.
Great for screen or windbreak in golf courses, highways and many other
large-scale applications. Lush green 6-8' foliage with flower spikes reaching
5' above foliage. The more we grow this plant, the better we like
it's distinctive characteristics. |

Our most requested Miscanthus. Perhaps because it is one of the oldest

that runs down the center making the blades look even finer. Plant will
reach 5-6' and flowers another 1-2'. A beautiful grass to screen pools,
patios, etc. or as a specimen. Does not do well in shade. |

Been used in landscapes since 1900 and continues to be very popular.
Surprisingly tolerant in light shade, however, will flop if grown in too
much shade. Clumps will reach 4-6' tall and as wide. The flowers
will rise 1-2 feet above foliage. Very attractive around water. |
