Ornamental Grass

green cat grass ...?

16 years ago

I saw a pic of Eleusine coracana grass & it looked so different ... any one grow this? Is is an annual (I live zone 7)? Where is seed available to buy? I like ornamental grasses but some have spread too much & I've had to dig a lot up but would like to try some different ones.

Never grown this, but I did a quick Google for seed and found that Thompson and Morgan carries this seed (African finger millet). It's listed as an annual grass, from what I can find...looks like zone 9.

Listed as easy to grow from seed, good info on this site:
