You crack me up. The electric hedge trimmer sounds like a great solution to the grass trimming chores.

(Fooling around with agaves, having a go with agastaches...) <br /><br />Your grasses are looking lovely. I have an electric hedge trimmer that makes short work of the February huge grass cut back. You can start at the top and cut a couple of inches at a time and it yields mulch that you can leave in place if you're as lazy as I am. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-72517438216994881882013-10-07T00:18:38.988-07:002013-10-07T00:18:38.988-07:00My problem is that I have tried Japanese blood gra...My problem is that I have tried Japanese blood grass once and Chasmanthium latifolium twice, I saw one at the nursery that was even variegated, so very tempting, and I love those seed heads. I'm at least trying the blood grass, but I may not succeed, perhaps they just don't like it here. But at least Zebra grass does well for me, so I am expecting good things from Morning Light.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-9225890882669025382013-10-06T14:25:16.114-07:002013-10-06T14:25:16.114-07:00Those are all good choices, I am a huge fan of or...Those are all good choices, I am a huge fan of ornamental grasses and Zebra grass is a favorite. They add so much to the fall garden, especially in places where we don't have much fall color. I haven't tried some of those because we may too hot and dry.
