| I love nurseries that don't know what they sell--but always looking for something new I bought two anyways.
So what kind of grass is is? I used my hand as a size reference. It has thin blades of soft grass, and there is green at the base. Is it some sort of feather grass? How big will it get? Thanks, Chris |

| Joyce, I think you might be right. I did a google search on the name and the pictures and descriptions from the various sites seem accurate enough. The height (18-24") is perfect for where I have planted them. Thanks! |

| I had that grass when I lived in NC...it is quite drought tolerant once it is established. I think it will do well for you down there in TX. |

| More likely Carex testacea. Buchanani is far more red-brown, also more upright at that stage of life. |
