| Hi All!
Ever since visiting the Montreal Botanical Garden last fall, I've been searching for a source for the grass Pennisetum macrourum (African Feathergrass)...below is an image I took at the garden:

| I haven't grown it yet, but I love its look, and may give it a try. Heronswood lists it as zones 6-9, and Emerald Coast Growers as 7-10. I've found listings for cultivars called 'White Lancer' and 'Tail Feathers.' It doesn't seem to be generally available at on-line nurseries, but wholesalers Emerald Coast Growers and PerennialMarket list it, so it may start showing up soon. |

| Thanks Donn...I knew someone would know more than me! Maybe I'll take the risk and get those seeds after all and give them a try. Thanks again! |

| Update: Bluestone Perennials lists this grass, and it's currently 50% off. I just ordered 6 of them at $3.75 each. |
Here is a link that might be useful: 'White Lancer' at Bluestone

| Thanks, Donn! As luck would have it, I found some last fall at a local nursery that specializes in grasses, Wind Dancer Garden :-) |

| I bought a bunch of grasses from Wind Dancer at the Hardy Plant Society sale the last two years. Nice ones. :) |
