Grass Plants

King Tut®
Egyptian Papyrus Grass
Height 48 to 72"
Space 36 to 48" apart
Hardy to 35 degrees Plant in Sun or Partial shade.

The plant can be planted in pots, along the waters edge of a pond, or even in a pond. The crown of the plant should never be covered in water and in fact both of these varieties can thrive in water as shallow as a few inches. The purpose is to keep the bulk of the soil or root mass wet.
The root ball can be submerged but it isn’t necessary. If the plant is put into a pot I would suggest plugging the hole or holes in the bottom of the pot to keep as much water as possible in the pot.




"NEW"
Pennesetum Fireworks

Showy upright growing grass to 4 feet tall with leaf blades that are variegated with longitudinal stripes of white, green and burgundy, imparting a candy cane-like appearance to the new foliage. As with the typical Fountain Grass (Pennisetum x advena 'Rubrum') it has purple tassels in late summer that rise above the foliage. The variegation fades in bright light and through the season with plants most vibrant with new flushes so cutting back may be in order on this cultivar.

Calamagrostis xacutlflora 'Karl Foerster' is called the "metamorphic grass." Others describe it as the "perpetual motion grass." The slightest breeze sets this grass in motion. The graceful movement is a highlight for any landscape. It is excellent as a specimen plant or providing a vertical accent in the landscape. Some designers use it for creating a fast developing screen. A combination of Karl Foerster feather reed grass with various other perennials makes a dramatic effect in the landscape.

Live Wire is a Sedge, reaching 20 inches across in sun or part shade (or bright light indoors). Its stems grow up and out in a fountainous mass from the center, offering nice textural contrast to neighboring plants.
