Ornamental Grasses

Even with the heat and drought of this year, my ornamental grasses did well. I did water them some this summer. Ornamental grasses are tough plants. Usually, nothing bothers them. I did witness an issue this year with my Praire Dropseed, Sporobolus heterolepis (picture). They were being mauled. The new kittens born this spring were having a grand time wrestling with them. You can see a healthy one at the planting at the Riley County Office Building, 110 Courthouse Plaza. Join me on Saturday, September 29 at 10 A.M. for discussion on our planting. Meet me at the grass bed.
