Spanish Oat grass...

Stipa gigantea ...Spanish oat grass is what I asked for a few years ago , after seeing Fergus Garrett running his fingers through it on ' Gardeners World' .  I bought three pots to plant along the length of the walk way at the back of the house. As a sort of  living screen , here it is after three years looking just as I hoped ,

    One of the most beautiful plants...I finally gave mine away to someone with more sun and lighter soil (Ricki). I think she might give me visitation rights, though ;-)

    Yes, I am the proud recipient of Scott's largesse, and looking forward to a scene like yours. Thanks for the preview.
