I'm with ZuZu  that grass is a 'must have.' Now I wonder just where I could put some.

I love it. It is great all summer long, gets prettier in the fall. I usually cut it back to about 6" before the new growth starts in early spring, so I only have about 6 weeks of ugly. I do like plants like that. And it gets no care, no irrigation at all in between the annual haircuts.

I love that grass. I have it in one corner by the porch and it fills in that space great. I put a cement praying angel fiqure near it and the plumes fall down over it and it is so neat looking.

So that's how it should look. We planted it once - the deer found it before it grew. I must try to get another one and plant it closer to the house where the deer won't bother.
