Ornamental Grasses

tall grasses - colored grasses?

18 years ago

Have to "plant" the hill that runs from the edge of my deck to a small lake - thinking something tall and feathery in the back, and small colorful (blue fescues? are there red fescues?) plants in front - if anyone has any to spare, or can point me towards a good source, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Japanese Blood grass is shorter and reddish

Miscanthus has many 6+ foot choices that look good 10 months of the year (kinda beaten down by winter weather by Feb/Mar so you cut it down before April... then they grow up real nice by May). Miscanthus "Strictus" is suppossed to be good near water

Annie, what kind of spirea are you looking for? I have the solid green that I know I have some babies and the variegated green and white that I'd have to check. I'm afraid the drought down here has taken it's toll on a lot of plants, shrubs and trees. The spirea I have is a shrub that people use to make a hedge. Just want to make sure that's what you want as plants are called by different names in different areas. :O) Thanks Lynn

Paul, I think I dumped about 2 bags of Wal-Mart steer manure on the string of ornamental grasses seen in the pic above, around May 1 last year, right after I chopped them off. I cut off everything above about 6 inches. This Spring Im going to try leaving it a little longer, maybe 12 or 14 inches tall. My thought is this might give it more strength and help it stay more upright when the snow hits. So far I havent seen any new ornamental grasses come up anywhere from seed. I dont get the feeling they start from seed all that easily. The Giant grass sends out runners about 6 or 8 inches from present grass clump. No further than that. On the Hardy pampas the new stems are in very tight to the old. Id say it spreads only an inch or maybe 2 inches per year. I read somewhere that these tall ornamental grass varieties are very responsive to Nitrogen fertilizer, so you might want to consider putting a little manure or something on yours. If not that, then I imagine a little cheapy lawn fertilizer (without the insecticide and weed killer) would also make yours very happy. The Giant silver grass is being used in Germany for the stuff to put into the fermentation vats to make alcohol motor vehicle fuel. Apparently it grows more fermentable mass per acre than any other crop. In pictures of it growing there, it seems to be about 14 feet tall. Bruce

Sounds like a terrible idea, sorry. 9 bags of sakrete won't get you anything that will sustain the weight of people walking on top. Before you know it, it'll be a cracked mess. Plastic won't last forever and you'll end up with a nasty mess to clean up in a couple of years. Spend the time to remove the lawn and then you won't have to worry about pouring cement over an uneven surface. (just my two cents)
