Ornamental Grass

Grass selection question

12 years ago

I have a plant selection question that I would like opinions on. I have both a Muhlenbergia capillaris White Cloud and a Muhlenbergia lindheimeri. I have never grown either of these plants. I have a sunny spot among some Northwind grasses at an edge of a planting bed that I would like to plant one of these. Which of these plant would you choose for this spot?

I'd probably go with 'White Cloud,' especially if you front the 'Northwind' with it.
