Can you recommend a suitable ornamental grass?
I recently exposed a 4ā x 3ā section of sidewalk on the west side of my house in Philadelphia. The section is right above a sewer inlet. This site gets full afternoon sun. Iām looking for a recommendation on a suitable ornamental grass that is dense and grows to a height of 3-4 feet. My initial thoughts - switch or Indian grass ā what do you think?
Answer
Both grasses you suggest are fine. Here are two more to consider: Carex pansa--forms a tight mat and spreads (not a clumping form) or consider Schizachyrium scoparium-- Little Bluestem--pretty, a clump form.
