Ornamental grasses

[Tetters]

Those ones seed like crazy don`t they @Gail_68 . I had some new seedlings come up from the blue grasses too - like festuca glauca, which was quite handy as I wanted some more in different places and they were very easy to transplant when they were small.

Well as soon as I seen them sprouting I thought that's weird grass coming through now, then hubby showed me the boarder by it as i'm terrible without my doubled glazed spec's and I said i'm having it out because what's the point of it being gravelled and someone mentioned to me if I hoover the head it eases the seeds off from sprouting.
LIke you I added some in small pots to see if they would trigger and they failed me I thought but as I binned them the shoots was strong I was shocked.

I haven`t had any luck with transplanting the pony tails either and they are no good in the wrong place - you can easily trip up on them !!

I've got two of these up the back garden and my ponytail isn't in the way...I just have to tell hubby not to drive on it.

Some states are banning Ornamental Grasses. Why is this being done?

As I understand it, it`s to do with water conservation - somebody`s daft idea I think as all of my grasses seem to survive really well without watering - which is one of the reasons I plant it in those hard to water areas. Even if it suffers in a drought, it seems to pick up again very well after some rain -- all by itself
