Author Message   Twrosz  My Weather Posted on Sunday, November 13, 2005 - 10:03 pm:    This has to be my favorite of the VERY hardy grasses! Besides the nice seed plumes and variegated foliage, it has interesting white stalks! An EXCELLENT new variety! Twrosz Alberta, Can. Zone 3a   Gardenbug  Posted on Sunday, November 13, 2005 - 10:11 pm:    Looks great to me...but of course I like almost all of them!!! Gardenbug - Ontario, Zone "4/5"   Goswimmin  My Weather Posted on Monday, November 14, 2005 - 08:11 pm:    I just love ornamental grasses, all of them. That is doing very nicely with your other beautiful flowers. Mary Goswimmin - Georgia, Zone "7b"   Shirley1md  Posted on Monday, November 14, 2005 - 08:49 pm:    Great vertical element in the garden! Very nice!! Shirley Maryland Zone 7a   Twrosz  My Weather Posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2005 - 12:26 am:    Indeed I too LOVE the ornamental grasses! Unfortunately, I'm really restricted by my cold climate and also many types bloom just too late! On the flip, being restricted is not always a bad thing ... I'd otherwise want one of everything!

Zone 3a   Tootsie  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2005 - 12:00 pm:    Those look wonderful :) I have been looking for some of the Karley Rose grass too! The great thing about them is that they are "DEER PROOF" Patricia Tootsie - Michigan, Zone "5/6"   Missgarden  My Garden Posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2005 - 06:17 pm:    It looks very nice. Missgarden - Ontario, Zone "5b"   Littlegardenbug  Posted on Thursday, November 17, 2005 - 08:52 am:    Thanks for the suggestions! I really like that one too - I've seen it in other people's gardens but I haven't figured out which one it is yet.. There's a garden a ew blocks away that had a whole bunch of different grasses that I would have liked to identify....

SusanQ - Zone 4b-5b Wisconsin   Twrosz  My Weather Posted on Saturday, November 19, 2005 - 07:36 pm:    Littlegardenbug, Other grasses to look for are the new to the market calamgrostis "Eldorado Gold" and "Overdam" ... both of these have originated from the very popular Karl Foerster. With being in the same COLD zone as yourself, you can be assured these varieties are extremely HARDY! Terry Twrosz Alberta, Can. Zone 3a   Gardenbug  Posted on Saturday, November 19, 2005 - 11:02 pm:    I didn't know Overdam was that hardy. It is listed as zone 4/5 by our nursery. I love it and grow a hedge of it mixed with verbena bonariensis. Gardenbug - Ontario, Zone "4/5"   Twrosz  My Weather Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2005 - 12:36 am:    Hi Gardenbug, I expect Overdam is hardy way down to zone 2. I've had it about five years and it's always come through anything winter can throw at it ... and that includes -40 c with as little as just a inches of snow protection. If you like Overdam, you'll LOVE Avalanche! Twrosz Alberta, Can. Zone 3a
