Might stipa gigantea be a suitable alternative? This can manage about
9 feet. Or miscanthus goliath that can get to 9-10 feet? The greater
mass of seed heads (which can survive through the winter and into mid
spring) blowing in the wind may well produce a better effect, even if
a bit lower.



Yes but she sees them in a garden centre looking good and thinks it will
be ideal! I'll pass on this idea though Jake, thanks



Just googled pampas grass and there's a thread somewhere asking if
pampas grass in the front garden is a sign of swingers!!!!
