Ornamental grasses

Thanks Julia … how sad to lose your Oxblood … they’re not all hardy are they … I will have to keep a close eye on mine …

Yes! I fell in love with the winning Evison clematis - those gorgeous white flowers. We found one and planted it (with good drainage!j today 🙂.

Watching Chelsea at the moment. Nice having it in Autumn. It would be nice if it was alternate years, May & September. The Autumn Show has been lovely. I'm sure your grasses will look great once they have settled & spread. I love the Anemone, a lovely shade. Is it a dwarf one?

Lovely grasses, Shelia!👍

I agree Josee … the autumn Chelsea show has been inspiring. Did you vote for the People’s Choice? I voted for Tom Massey’s organic garden and am thrilled for him that it won.

Thank you … I love Anemone Charlotte too. It is small now as it is very new, but will eventually grow to a metre.

Balcony, thanks!

I love your grasses Sheila, they are very nice especially the first one :) they will fill some gaps nicely for you ...

Thank you Hywel 🙂. Funny … I didn’t think of taking a photo of my well established Hakonechloa - I have about six and think it’s one of the best grasses ever!

A smashing collection you've picked up, Sheila! Love the colours, I've a few of the prairie fire ones.. they look fab don't they! Those coppery bronze touches!
You mentioned hakonechloa - one I do certainly fancy! Maybe next time.. and if I find a spot! 😊
I've enjoyed the autumnal version of the Chelsea flower show, we get the chance to see some of those fantastic autumn colours on display and it reminds us the garden is definitely all year round!
Your anemone is very pretty, looking forward to seeing your achillea..

It was really nice to have an autumn Chelsea.
Your grasses will look great Sheila.

Thank you Kate for mentioning the Chelsea Flower Show! I'd forgotten all about it! Luckily I can see it on the BBC iPlayer! I watched 2 episodes today & will probably see another couple tomorrow! 😂

Thanks Linda 🙂.

I've got several Hakonechloas too, they are lovely grasses.

Balcony, I missed the start! I had forgotten and caught up half way through! Thankfully we have the catch up system now! Happy watching!☺️

Nice selection Sheila. Aren't they fun? As you said, so many choices! You've got some goodies there. That prairie fire sounds great!

Thanks Paul … I just love them and they are no trouble at all 🙂.

Thank you Klahanie. Charlotte is new to me, and will apparently disappear underground in winter … I must remember to mark the spot!

I hope they do well Sheila, I'm on clay so not very successful here...

Oh so are we Sue, but I have added soil improver and some grit. Thanks 🙂.
