I really like Muhlenbergia c. 'White Cloud' and have grown it over the last year. I don't find it to be that much taller than the species (5 ft seems a stretch), but the seed heads may remain a bit more upright over time. Certainly worth growing! A beautiful grass!

Does anyone have pink and or purple. I am looking for just about any kind of grasses at the moment. Annual, perennial anything you can give. Email me to make some arrangements. Thanks

I’m in 6b and mine (purchased small from Bluestone Perennials last spring) never got big enough to bloom. I overwintered it inside and just planted it out to see if it can do any better the second year. In the meantime it’s a pretty underwhelming grass taking up space.

Probable star jasmine (Trachelospermum) already needs a bigger surface to climb on - you could install additional framework to the left and right of the existing section and fill the whole vertical space just with that one planting. Which would be good because then it would be a uniform backdrop that eliminated being able to seen beyond the bed and into the void beneath the house. And with the dark green climber already there any plantings of purple-leaved or otherwise additionally dark plants might not be the best direction to go in. You might also like to coordinate with the vine when it is in flower, for instance planting something that is yellow at the same time as its white flowers are present. Maybe start by taking a sprig of the vine to some garden centers and holding it up against other plants, seeing what looks good, then building from there. Also what you are able to find for sale in your area at the time you are working on this will determine what you end up using. Unless you order from outside of the area, for home delivery. Otherwise this Clemson page on Loropetalum is pretty good. They also say the 'Darkfire' grows only 5-6 ft. tall but they may just be repeating what commercial sources have been saying (see the Clemson paragraph on size of the species in general). With nursery depictions of the "mature" size talking about what has been seen with examples only 10 years old. Or is being assumed plants of that age will become: https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/loropetalum/
