It was badly chewed, all dirt shaken from its roots but I planted it anyway. She's such a little monster.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_O8niJBJuc2U/SBXc90-9PGI/AAAAAAAAARw/1bwYt4VerDc/s1600-h/santarosa.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_O8niJBJuc2U/SBXc90-9PGI/AAAAAAAAARw/1bwYt4VerDc/s200/santarosa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194300699994569826" /></a><br /><br /><strong>The List of Ornamental Grasses</strong><br /><br />Acorus gramineus Variegatus<br />Calamagrostis acutiflora Avalanche<br />Calamagrostis acutiflora Overdam<br />Carex elata Bowles Golden<br />Carex morrowii Ice Dance<br />Carex oshimensis Evergold<br />Deschampsia cespitosa<br />Miscanthus sinensis Bluetenwunder<br />Miscanthus sinensis Gracillimus<br />Miscanthus sinensis Kaskade<br />Miscanthus sinensis Little Kitten<br />Miscanthus sinensis Little Zebra<br />Miscanthus sinensis Malepartus<br />Miscanthus sinensis Morning Light<br />Miscanthus sinensis Mysterious Maiden<br />Miscanthus sinensis Nippon<br />Miscanthus sinensis Puenktchen Little Dot <br />Miscanthus sinensis Purpurascens Autumn Red<br />Miscanthus sinensis Rigoletto<br />Miscanthus sinensis Sarabande<br />Miscanthus sinensis Silberfeder<br />Miscanthus sinensis Strictus<br />Miscanthus sinensis Super Stripe<br />Miscanthus sinensis Variegatus<br />Miscanthus sinensis Zebrinus<br />Panicum virgatum Shenandoah<br />Phlox paniculata David<br /><br /><br />Of course the Phlox isn't a grass but we lost our phlox a few years ago and that particular one has an amazing aroma, so I bought a replacement. <br /><br />It looks like a pricey purchase but I actually bought these last fall during their year end sale when all the grasses were so discounted it came out to only a couple bucks per grass. I opted for the spring delivery because at the time I was too busy with other stuff. I feel like a stinker because of that option I got their spring inventory at the fall price. Very happy with the roots on these wonderful plants.<br /><br />My garden is now full of ornamental grasses!!<br /><br />On another note: Yesterday I finished spray painting the layout for the new walk way. For days Cliff has been saying, "This is BS. Blah, Blah It won't look good." After he could visually see what has been in my head he admitted that it looked pretty cool. At this point I'm really surprised he still doubts that I know what I'm doing. tee hee hee I guess I can't fool him, but it is turning out rather well. :)<br /><br /><strong>Related Links</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/grasses/">University of Illinois Extension - Ornamental Grasses</a> - Understanding Ornamental Grasses, How to Plant, Care and Maintenance, and Types of Ornamental Grasses.Arikbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00027612785747647117noreply@blogger.com
