Purple Fountain Grass

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. “
–Eleonora Duse
Don’t you just love ornamental grasses? So many beautiful ones to choose from these days, though a lot of them don’t do well in central Florida. Still, pink muhly grass and purple fountain grass are among the ones we CAN grow, and they are such wonderful accents in the garden. The stand of purple fountain grass above is as tall as I am, or close to 6 feet. When it is blooming and the morning light shines through it, it’s just beautiful. Do you grow any grasses that don’t need to be mowed? Being a non-lawn person, myself, those are my favorite kinds!
