On the 5th of April, our great day trip to Elgin took us to Fairholme, where I bought all my grasses in my patch – well 90% of them. It is now 5 months later – whew, time flies – and the grass patch is still quite dormant – until yesterday! I was pleasantly surprised to see that the dry tufts of Panicum virgatum and Miscanthus are finally showing signs of life.

As you can see, the grasses are showing a few sprouts, so this will be a spectacular area once these grasses mature and achieve a nice height. I am a patient gardener! Even the way they looked when I bought them, I will be totally satisfied to see all my grasses reach this original height!! But the potential of what I can expect will be surprizing! I love these grasses and I will definitely add to my garden more grasses in different areas.

You might ask what the big patch of green is behind the bird bath – well, these are corn flowers. I scattered seeds in a bald patch and these have come up. I am looking forward to these flowering.
Enjoy your weekend gardening xx it is a bit cold today so I am going to spend some time visiting our friends’ gardens.
Happy gardening

The new shoots from Panicum are one of the signs in my garden that Spring is just about to come on strong — it’s always exciting! (Although the bamboo shoots have overshadowed this event in the last couple of years.)
I check my Panicum every morning … every day a few new shoots! Can’t wait for it to be all greened up again. I love it so much.
Its looking great, can’t wait to see it all greened up.
Hi Barbie – I absolutely love Carex too – mine is Carex evergold and it looks VERY similar to yours. I really love what you did here. Give it another 4 – 6 weeks and your Grass Garden is going to ROCK!!
Yeay! I can’t wait!! 🙂 I really am so pleased with this feature. It will be the focal point of the front garden.
It’s always so exciting to see something come back to life after winter! Your garden is going to be gorgeous when everything has greened up.
Thank you for that positive note! I have so much to look forward to 🙂
