Thanks again Paul...I don't really mind what it is...I love it...and the feathery fronds, adds so much more interest...

By the way, the rain and the wind have played havoc with my Shastas, a lot of very sad looking blooms now...that's the problem with white flowers lovely till it rains...then go grey looking...big snip job this morning...
after I've planted my Clems...lol....:)))

Pennisetum setaceum 'Skyrocket'

Half-hardy Perennial
The colourful foliage of this half hardy fountain grass emerges with bold green stripes that contrast with the creamy white margins. From mid-summer to autumn, the showy pink flower spikes rise above the arching foliage in a spectacular architectural display. Pennisetum ‘Skyrocket’ makes a lively addition to bedding displays and patio containers. The fluffy seedheads can be also cut to make elegant dried flowers. Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 60cm (24").

Flowering Period:July, August, September, OctoberPosition:full sun

Copied this info...if anyone is interested in this lovely grass....

Great stuff Crissue - sorry about the shastas - but they will pick up :))) Did you get info from shoot ? Great site that one

20 Jul, 2011

 

No...it was Thompson Morgan, I just googled the name you gave me...then went to the top one which I think covered all the info...sometimes I have a good old browse through different sites...but I thought this was quite informative...
