I discovered this wonderful grass last year.  It thirves in sun or dappled shade, tolerates drought and best of all it sets off other plants so well in my opinion.   :)  G x



With a miniture rose



With an allium



With parsley

I grow it also, isn't long lived in my garden, couple of years before it starts to die back or the vineweevils get it.  However, I have it planted around a cordyline in a pot and it looks fab!

Yours look great with the white aliums!

I first grew it last year with Schitzostylis which worked well and next year I'm going to try it with snowdrops and summer snowflake too.  Sadly I don't have room for a cordyline - my garden is so narrow it would take someone's eye out!   ;D

Georgie, I am constantly poking myself with the cordylines or palms, drives me crazy!  :-\

I think it will look great with the snowdrops, the white and grey/blue work fabulously together!

I find they need lifting and dividing regularly as they quickly become overcrowded, loose colour and aquire lots of thatch. Dividing soon rejuvinates them.

Great plants.
