This is my only project so far this year. I moved this bed with grasses and added some upright sleepers which you can just about see as I planted stipa tenuissima in front of them. The idea of the sleepers is to support the 4 sand grasses in winter - there will be wires going across between the sleepers.

Indeed! @sharonhayden although have ended up with quite a narrow bed. The sand grass had beautiful flower heads that survived the winter but got flattened. Remains to be seen if my cunning plan works.🤞 🤞

Had to get up early to photo this one. Will get redder and larger in coming weeks. It’s along the back. Also there is Stipa Tenuissima, Salvia Caradonna Verbena Lollipop & Erigeron. 26th Aug, 2019
