@lexijane morning I love my grasses, have to keep this in a pot as it spreads a lot but does well in both sun n shade gave mum some last year and hers is south facing mines north facing and adds great texture in garden too 😘

Sounds like a great all rounder then 👍🏼🙌🏼. I’ll definitely have to get some 😘

Red chief adding a bit of #texture still in the #winter garden #grass #wintersunshine

If mine looked like that I wouldn't have cut it down, mine looked like it had one to many and fell over with all its arms and legs going in different directions!! 😂

@carolgs that's tickled me 😂😂😂

Grasses getting their #autumncolours now

Another #grass changing to its #autumncolours #miscanthus

Love them at this time of year. The autumn light really sets them off I think 🌤🌾

@rachelbrooks me too Hun best time of year for them I think 😊

Looks gorgeous in the sun 😍😍

@pelly thanks Hun 😄

Mr Chief got his plumes on n glistening in this evenings sun after a downpour we've just had

Beautiful 😍😍

@pelly thanks Hun 😘

Yey here they come a hint of #purple sort of

WOOHOO!!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder thanks Hun soon be full of plumes will post again later, they seem alot shorter this year with the drought 😮

I think shorter and later, looking forward to seeing the next post of it!💘😍

I noticed the same thing too Keely, I’ve got a miscanthus in the front garden which seems about a foot shorter than it was last year 🤔 - hope it’s just the strange weather we’ve had but will remind myself next year to check.

@richard.spicer.7906 mines even got lighter this year Rich weather definitely affected alot of plants this year 😮

#grasses seems I have a few grass plants!!!

That's fantastic 💛💚

@pelly thanks Hun it's slowly getting it's flower spikes on 😄

@LyndaClack thanks Hun 😘

This has really filled out this year only just starting to get its flower spikes which seem late this year so I will enjoy a feathery pink plume in September by look of it. #grass

Ooooooh! Pink on that is going to look fantastic!💘

@ShelleySnyder it's more of a plum than pink but still looks lovely though lots of flower spikes on it, can't wait to see it maybe another week to 10 days 👍😄

Plum, purple,pink, who cares! Gonna look fabulous!💘😍

@LyndaClack thanks Hun it's alot lighter this year with the sun n heat so loving the colour 💛💛

@gjones thank you hun 😘

Morning Peeps this #grass still adding a bit of structure to the #winter garden. Won't be long before it gets the chop. Have a good day peeps 😀

Morning Keely, love that colour

Morning Keely, it does 💕

Morning Hun beautiful colour 💞 I have a few grasses that I’m going to add around my pond area and to hide the ugliness of the back wall where next doors leylandii were....have a lovely day is it bingo today 👍🏻😘

@nessas morning Hun I love my grasses add something a bit different to the garden. Yes it's bingo day horrible n wet outside today so least it's indoors 😀 have a good day 😘

@jpea @juliesgarden thank you peeps 😄

Same here Hun but have to go to the tip today then I think I shall sow some more seeds 😬☺️ enjoy your bingo 👍🏻

My zebra grass is looking the same. Nearly time to cut back but still keeping things interesting 🤗

Love how the grasses look at the moment 👌🏼

#grasses going over now but still give a bit of structure to the garden #winter

My Red Chief looks the same, Keely. Will you cut it back before the new growth starts to come through? I think I left mine last year and it was a real mess of old and new!!! I really want to get it right this time. @Keely

@jacaranda yes Barabara I will cut it down late Feb to about 10" from base of plant so all new growth comes through for Spring 😄

Thanks Keely. I’ll do the same!! 😘 @Keely

😊👌🏼
