carex testacea and festuca glauca 'elijah', make a nice combo i thought.
Comments on this photo
Very nice. Do they have enough sun. My festuca glauca grasses reach almost one meter in diameter on a direct sun.

Thanks Jane, I have both them, so I may do the same sounds good.
Thanks Kat, these are both young plants this is their second year, both in direct sunlight for about 8 hours.

OK then they will grow more by years. Some of mine are 6 years old.

Ok :-)

I made photos this morning of those large ones. Will upload it later this day. I am curious if it is the same sort, as I have grasses with the same name, but with different size and age.

I chucked my Ophio next to lobelia.
Nice, but must give more thought to project next year. Lol.

I meant to ask you, in fact...the border is a wee bit high for the grass with everything towering over it, so I'm re-planting it in the whatsit next year.
Smaller plants in general, replacing those I'm transplanting into the border.
I want to sow the seeds I've collected, but don't know when to do this, or whether to sow directly or into pots.
What would you advise, mate?

What seeds are they Mouldy, most can be sown in spring if they are annual plants, even some perennials in spring.

From the black grass flowerheads, Surrey.
Sorry, mate, I forgot to say. Lol.

Lol, sow them late winter say jan time as they need a cold spell to get them growing.

Too late.
Had them in my jeans pocket.
Forgot & put my jeans in the washing machine.
Oops!

That's a shame mate, if I get any seed from mine I'll let you know.
