| Not to be confused with Bowles golden sedge , this is Bowles Golden grass or Golden Millet Grass. I planted these from seed a few years ago . They come from one of my favorite seed companies : Seedaholicfrom Ireland . It has taken a few years for them to bulk up , but they are wonderful just now. I believe they are short lived , but they are good self seeders , maybe too good . Pulled out easily enough and plenty to give away or relocated . |

| They are a woodland grass from Europe , but I found they survived my dry sunny garden without being scorched to badly. I've planted them in the shadiest spots I could find. |

| and here with another great self seeder Rumex sanguineus. |
I have what seems to be this same grass, and it self-seeds perfectly. I love the bright hit of gold in the garden this time of year!
ReplyDeleteJane, Could be the same or maybe Bowles Golden Sedge Carex elata 'Aurea.
DeleteOh, I know that Rumex alright... I have itty bitty seedlings of it all over the place. Still love it, though. I have Carex 'Everillo' that also provides that bright visual punch. Good you are for growing things from seed. I'm a much lazier gardener!
ReplyDeleteI love the Rumex too, it does get everywhere ,but it's small and fills the gaps between the other plants.
