Any nurseries specialize in grasses?
I'm looking for a couple of ornamental grasses that are listed on the plant
list for our revamped front yard and I'm either looking too early or in the wrong place. Are there any nurseries that seem to carry a lot of varieties (preferably in the Cary/Apex area)? I'm specifically looking for a couple of dwarf fountain grasses (Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' and 'Moudry') and a dwarf zebra (unspecified variety). I'm having fun with the rest of the list, though, finding a few at a time and planting them before going out for more! Beth |

Well, Beth, right before I read your post, I was looking at the Plant
Delights website. Here's the page for "Fountain Grass": http://www.plantdelights.com/Catalog...e67.html#00635 I'm not sure whether these are dwarf varieties, though -- after all, the plants don't read the catalogue! (That's actually a quote from me about 20 years ago, when I planted a "Dwarf Nectarine" -- Hah, the joke was on me!)

Believe me, I've drooled over the PD catalog ;-). I'll be at their open
house in May 'cause they have a couple of items I want, but they don't have any of the dwarf fountain grasses. The two specified on our plans are 1.5-2.5' tall.

The ornamental grasses are just breaking dormancy. Both Moudry and
Hameln should be readily available at your favorite local nursery. I don't think Tony carries Moudry any more. There are reseeding issues with this cultivar. It is awfully pretty though. There is a dwarf zebra - Kurt Alexander is the cultivar, I think. Have not seen that available yet. My current favorite small grass is a stipa - about 18 inches and like soft hair blowing in the breeze. Very fond of the various carex too. Good luck.
