I have been growing more ornamental grasses lately. They seem to be popular at the nurseries. I have grown some over the years, but have not paid much attension. Mostly Miscanthus, they seem to be the most popular. Many of the grasses are somewhat large for the garden, but there are some new hybrids that are more compact. Please share your thoughts and photos of ornamental grasses...
