| I am looking to grow some ornamental grass from seed this winter and transplant in the spring. Anyone got good suggestions of online or non-line sournces for a variety of seeds? Thanks. |

| Check out Jelitto. They're in Germany, but I had no problems ordering from them, and bought a few dozen varieties of OG seed from them. Good seed counts, and good germination. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Jelitto

| I'll second Donn's recommendation. Jelitto is one of the most reputable seed suppliers in the world and they have a huge selection of grass varieties. I spent a hundred bucks on seed there two years ago and ended up with >2000 containers of grasses. Sold more than enough to cover my costs and set out 1200 plants. |

| I tried your link to Jelitto but couldn't get the page. Do you have a website address for them? |

| sunny...their website must be down. I just tried it and couldn't get through in any of 3 browsers. They may be down for maintenance. Hover your cursor over the link I posted, and the website URL will show up in your status bar. |

| Thanks for that link, marktime. They're probably too far away from me to buy from them, but the site is a terrific resource. |

| Any sites for people that arn't wholesalers and don't have passwords? Pictures would be cool too since I don't know the latin name of any grasses. |
