SUCH a great grass! I myself am sort of grass-impaired and haven't yet learned how to "use" them in the garden. But I've had one of these in a 12" pot for five years and totally love it. It looks great all year around and combines wonderfully with other potted plants. My kitty thinks it makes the BEST kitty bed too. Its clumping glossy and ever-bronze foliage gracefully arches to 1 ½'-2' long. I've been told it's wonderful spilling over walls and rock gardens. Highest Easy Rating!
