I like this - is it evergreen by any chance Tommy?

I think so~. I bought this in Sep 2011, so I'm not 100% sure. This grass was supposed to be orange (colour) on the tips in full sun position, but it had been boring dark green and I was gutted. However, I'm absolutely glad now because it's changed into lovely orange :-)

It wasn't expensive at a local market, 2.50 pounds :)

If I can get it as cheap as that I won't be buying just the one!!
