Author Message   Scotkat  My Garden Journal Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 08:31 am:    For my beach effect off my new patio area. See photos in garden thread. What grasses that would not grow tall should I look for? Would this is also be a specialist site I would go to.

I do like lime green colours and dark wine that you get in Berberis leaf.

Carex buchananii is taller and more brown than red. There are other red-brown grasses, but those are the ones I've grown. Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"
