Little fountain plant (ornamental grass)
Miscanthus sinensis 'Kleine Fontaine' ('Little Fountain') is what many old
timers still call an ornamental grass. Ornamental grasses are readily available at garden centers everywhere, even such commonplace sources as Home Depot and Lowes. They should not be hard to find them come springtime when they are in stock. Jessica wrote in message ... Does anyone know where in Northwest Washington (preferably in the Skagit, Whatcom or Snohomish Counties) I could find a Little Fountain plant. Here's a link to a picture of them: http://www.gardenphotos.com/samplers/graham/3.html Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jessica |

If you're searching online, btw, the German has a typo in it in the caption to Graham Rice's photo. It should be Miscanthus sinensis "Kleine Fontaene". (The a is a Umlaut) There are many attractive smaller Miscanthus cultivars. A useful list: http://pss.uvm.edu/pss123/grsmisca.html One of the nicest commercial sites for ornamentals grasses is http://www.hostas.com/ They have many photos and some very useful charts. http://www.hostas.com/grasses/ Cheers! -- Karen The Garden Gate http://garden-gate.prairienet.org ================================================== ================= "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need." ^and cats -- Cicero ================================================== ================= On the Web since 1994 Forbes Best of Web 2002 |
