Thanks everyone - I'll add it to the site. The only black grass I currently
have listed is "black mondo grass". I've been seeing a lot of black bamboo
this year also, though it tends to be rather expensive.

What a fabulous site! Thanks for posting it.

Have to agree, never been interesting in gardening but looking at that
and
then the wasteland outside my back door has got me thinking....

Then again the wasteland is all my own doing, 12 years hard work so far!

I've got some Gothic Grass you could add to your wasteland

don't think the site mentioned ~black grass~ , or ophiopogon nigrescens
to
us gardeners
(it's not a grass at all really though, but a member of the orchid family)

if anyone wants some I shall be selling little pots of it for a modest fee
(amidst much teasing and ridicule no doubt !) at Beyond The Veil alongside
the t-shirts on our merchandise stall.
