Thanks Hywel and SL - always wanted one of these - think they're a bit tender though

Like this one.x.

Looks lovely,Paul..especially in the gravel..it really sets it off :o)

It is lovely and I agree with others that the gravel really sets it off.

Love it.

Oooh its lovely , so soft and fluffy;0)

And that's a bonny pelargonium to its left too.

Thank you everyone very much - good to hear then SL :))))))

That is so lovely Paul. Agree the Bloomer the gravel round makes it stand out. :o)

"agree the Bloomer",N3 ?? lol..sounds like 'The Mafia":o)
you are up way too early...like me,..again !

Tnanks Angie :)) Thanks N3tyy :)))

Thanks Meadowland - I have feeling pennisetums are more tender than other grasses - it claims to be tender in harder frosts

Love it too.

Thanks Clarice :)))))))))))))

I shall wait and see how this reacts to the winter in your garden Paul, its one I would like to have.

very much Stroller - one of my favourites this one :-)))))))

Wow that is gorgeous

WOW!!! I bought some seeds..put it in the ground, nothing came of it :(((( those a beautiful!

Thank you Yorkshire and Michaella - sorry about that Michaella - will send you a clump if you wish in few weeks :)))

had this one and lost mine :( yours is gorgeous.

Thanks Grandmage - was it the cold that killed it or just naturally ?

Yes it just dissapeared over the winter, maybe too wet!

damn winter - no wonder I just hate it :(

At least we have GOY. for the dark winter days Paul :)

Indeed :-)))))))))))))))))

I am just the same Paul. It was so dark here today, never really had any daylight, and I've been fighting sleep off all day! I think I shall need to get my light box out very soon and I can't believe it is back to dark nights already and no summer to speak of at all. Let's all try to keep each other positive this winter eh? :)

yes Karen the winter is certainly drawing on now - but have loads of projects to contend with :D Nice to hear from you again :)))

Beautiful pic, Paul ... :o)))

Hi Terra - Thank you :)))

This grass reminds me of large hairy caterpillers.......

haha yes Linda - nice to hear from you again :-)))

Glad you're back Paul.

Thank you Linda- will be on more very soon :))))))))

I love this but have heard it is difficult to over winter.
Thought I recognised your garden ! lol

Hi Valadel yes I think they're a bit tender unfortunately - lost some before - thank you for your comment and favouritng me :-))))))))

Beautiful. I wonder if this is the same as mine? Will go take a look. It lives next to my rain measurer, which is full to the brim!!

Hi Lulu thank you - get a pic of it would love to see it :)

This is the sort of plant you just have to touch.

very true Linda - and I do - like the feathers on pampas I always touch them

Lovely Paul, I tried the red form but it just died overwinter :-( this ones pretty too I'll be watching for an update next year see how it does:-)
I know you grow a lot of grasses do you grow Melica Ciliata?, I've grown some from seed this year and they've really got going now can't wait to see if they flower next year, it looks lovely from pictures I've seen :-)

Thanks Simbad - no never heard of that one , great you have done it from seed too - I just cannot do that at all. Will have a look for this grass :))

What a beauty......
