I've got a bunch of Japanese Imperial bloodgrass, Imperata cylindrica. Surrounding the house, I'm rehabbing the lawn - kill it all and re-seed, section by section. But down the slope in the wet meadow, I'd like to keep much of what's growing (lots of native wildflowers, sedges, rushes), not mow, and just kill the grass. It's way too big an area to hand-weed or spot-treat for the bloodgrass, it's wildflowers intermingled with the dang bloodgrass, and I'd rather not kill the whole shebang and start over. If there's another type of grass down there, I haven't seen it. So it's okay with me if I kill _all_ the grass. I realize that sounds extreme, but it's less extreme than killing everything. It's a sea of blue and purple right now, blue-eyed grass and self-heal and skullcap. And the red stripes of Imperata cylindrica (grrr). Will sethoxydim (Vantage) effectively kill the bloodgrass and not harm the flowers and sedges? Thanks.

Hello all I am led to believe that the Gahnia spp (native saw sedges) are very difficult to germinate. wondering whether you folk may have had experience with these any help greatly appreciated A

I am trying Pigeonberry for the first time this year, to be planted in my dappled shade garden. I've read they can go dormant in the heat of summer if they get too dry but since this is a Texas native, I'm not certain how dry DRY needs to be before this dormancy kicks in! :-) Red berries for the birds, blooms from early spring through fall for the pollinators and butterflies, pretty fall color, height 1 to 2 feet on average. Not certain if the height is too tall for you. There are many discussions about this plant here in the garden forums, if you think you might be interested in taking a look. Just do a search for Pigeonberry or Pigeon Berry. The proper name is Rivina humilis aka Rouge plant. I currently have small seedlings I started from seed and they're growing well. Can't wait to see how they do this season. Best of luck with your new plantings. Mary
