How To Identify Ornamental Grasses

Question From: D. Powell - ILLINOIS
Q: I have some ornamental grasses that were planted last year. They did well, reaching a height of about 4 feet and showing a feathery "flower" at the top. I used some of the latter in my creche as straw during the Christmas season. Question: How do I identify them and therefore list them in my Yardener's newsletter? Thanks dutch

A:

Take samples of the blades of grass back to the garden center where you purchased it for a positive ID. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
