Garden of the Day
DSCN2031, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.
I’m really digging these gardens that have the tall grass that in nature might look like weeds but in gardens actually look quite cool. I guess it’s just wild grass. Anyone know the proper name?

Looks like a type of feather reed grass. I may be wrong though.
i have always loved that garden. beach grass
yes, it’s feather reed grass, probably the variety called “Karl Foerster.” It’s great for small gardens because it grows very vertically, not as a giant spreading clump like most grasses. It’s pretty common and most larger garden centers (Johnson’s, Behnke’s, etc.) should have it.
I’ve always hoped you would feature this garden! The owner does an amazing job and has a huge patch of land.
Where is this at? Would love to check this garden out.
