April 08, 2008Ornamental Grass
At the end of winter or in early spring, it's a good time to trim your ornamental grass. Cutting away the dried up grass makes room for new growth. Posted by Anthony Reblogged by Old Roses to grasses on 2008-04-08, 17:54:55 March 04, 2008Ribbon Grass and Prickly Pear Cactus

Since I work for an ornamental grass nursery, I notice grasses on my travels. This grass was carpeting the hillsides at around 1600 mt (5000') in the Middle Atlas. Posted by Miss Canthus Reblogged by Old Roses to grasses on 2008-02-28, 06:07:15 November 09, 2007Field Tripping

How did we manage for so long without the tall grasses? They're as beautiful after the snow comes as in the fullness of summer. Posted by J.P. Reblogged by Old Roses to grasses on 2007-11-03, 06:11:16 October 23, 2007Managing grass
This is such a vexed issue - managing grass is rather difficult, I think. If you have the right amount in the summer, you don't have enough in the winter; if you have enough in winter, you've far too much...

Big bluestem for Blackswamp Girl...awhile back, I'd left a comment regarding Little Bluestem Grass on Kim's blog, stating that I have Big Bluestem but not the little one. She remarked that she may not have room for Big Bluestem, and how big is it, anyway? Finally, I am posting my size estimation for Kim...better late than never! This is my friend, let's call her "Smiley", standing next to my Big Bluestem. Smiley is about 5'4", and as you can see, Big Bluestem is taller than her by quite a bit. I would estimate it at 6 feet tall or so. But there's more to size than height.... Posted by lisa Reblogged by Old Roses to grasses on 2007-09-20, 06:22:29 September 19, 2007[Untitled]

Posted by Blackswamp_Girl Reblogged by Old Roses to grasses on 2007-09-10, 06:03:29 celebrating grasses
I'm joining a number of fellow bloggers in the celebration of ornamental grasses. When Shirl started this topic, my initial feeling was that I just don't have enough of them. I love grasses-- the way they catch the light and move in the breeze-- but I tend to feel that they look best in big, natural looking drifts, and I just don't have that much room. I do however have this: Posted by LisaBee Reblogged by Old Roses to grasses on 2007-09-10, 06:01:30 Grasses at May Dreams Gardens, or Lack There Of

This morning I dug up a dead azalea and I'm afraid that it won't be the only garden casualty this year. I have a large garden and I've had my sprinkler on for the past week. Despite the continuous watering, some plants are barely hanging on. I can't remember the last time we had a significant rainfall and we just had a record 12 days in a row of 100 or higher temperatures. And although we are approaching the end of August, September and October and usually hot and dry months here. I'm ready to move to Seattle!. . .

Posted by Reblogged by Old Roses to grasses on 2007-06-27, 19:06:33 June 21, 2007Sisyrinchium striatum
The plant pictured here is a border staple in and around London in mid-May (which translates to about early June here, maybe later...maybe more like now). When I say a staple, I mean it's everywhere, every garden. I even found some out in back of the pub we stopped at for lunch between Sissinghurst & Great Dixter. I think it's Sisyrinchium striatum, a blue-eyed grass, closely related to the iris. We grow the garden version here that is actually blue, and I have seen wild ones in the fields in Henrietta, but they're so small they're very hard to find. I looked this one up in Armitage, and he says it's hardy to zone 4, so why have I never noticed it in an upstate New York garden or garden center? Anyone have any experience with this plant? I miss Anne Stonehocker. She would know. . . . Posted by Jane M. Reblogged by Old Roses to grasses on 2007-06-21, 06:28:24 June 20, 2007Backlit Bloodgrass and NOT Ann Coulter

Q I bought some ornamental grasses that were beautiful when I got them last summer. Now it's winter, and they look dead. Are they? I looked on the container labels and there was nothing about how they'd look in winter, which I find deceptive. How do I know if a grass will stay pretty all year?
