Ornamental Grass

Planted too close to house?

lorafitz
16 years ago

I planted a couple purple fountain grass and one maiden grass next to my house -- but I only planted them about one and a half feet from the house. Is this going to be a problem for either the plant or my house? Should I replant them further from the foundation?
