Grasses! Wanted - Dead or Alive! January 16th This picture could have been taken at any time during the last 3 months, or the next 2 months for that matter. The subject matter is dead grass. (At least they look dead, but are very much alive below ground.) Miscanthus, Hordeum, Festuca, Pennisetum, to name a few, are all spectacular from late summer, with their ripened seed heads, but beyond that and into the winter, they still have value in the garden; as can be seen here. Plant them in full light for maximum winter effect.
