The problem is not that clump-formers can run,

I haven't had any problems with frost,
although some new shoots that foolishly came up in mild Feb got killed
off by April frosts.


Thanks this is also really useful and worth retaining. I shall go and
order a few of the plants recommended by you and David. It's always
exciting discovering new ranges of plants that, as a gardener you
haven't grown before, even if I intend to use them in my son's garden.
Just looking at the websites has made me rather hanker over some of the
smaller blue grasses and one or two taller species for my own garden. I
did see a really beautiful steely blue grass (not the usual glabra) in
"The Plant Specialist" Sean Walters nursery in Great Missenden. Sadly he
doesn't open after the middle of October so I'll have to go back in
march or send him an email
