How to safely plant a soakaway?

grasses would be so much nicer to
the eye, for the lightness they provide, elegance and the wildlife
they'd attract with their long lasting seed heads (not to mention the
low maintenance). The choices are endless, from the deschampsia,
sporobolus, corynephorus, myscanthus and the actae (imagine that one
covered of frost in winter ...) etc... to reed grass, the red one and
you could mix in echinaceas or monardas for some colour too. These
will self seeds and will replace their parents. Nice clumps will
eventually forms, like with the panicum and molinia - this could give
you the 'bulk' of planting you are after.

Thanks, Helene, for a good list of natural plants if we decide going
down the wildflower "lawn" is the best option!
