I love it too - I now have a mini-border of them, and a couple more I got yesterday at a very good price. Couldn't resist them! :-))))

I have had the black grass for a number of years, Not much luck, never got to the berry stage with me. We have clay, so I put them in a pot with compost, They say they make a lovely background for snowdrops.

that is what i am planning to do when i re locate some plants hopefully in the spring.

I think they're great plants. I've got a little border of them, with geranium 'Bill Wallis' and Limnanthes douglasii seeding themselves around them. They also 'go' with some Heucheras!
I hadn't thought of pairing them up with snowdrops, but I will now - thanks, Telme!
