| Is it as wonderful as the King&Oudolf book make it seem?
Does it self sow? I have given up on Moudry & Sea Oats & the like for their super aggressive colonization. When does it bloom here for us on the east coast? |

| thats the C brachytricha, not acutfiflora. |
|
| IMO, it is fairly unimpressive until it plumes out...then it is very attractive. It has been blooming for about a month, at least, here in z4. I've only found a couple seedling in the 4 or so years I've had it. |

| C. brachytricha makes a very attractive container grass. |

| mmmm, it IS beautiful. no doubt bout that. "only a couple of seedlings" from zone 4 does make this zone 7er a tad nervous thou. One of the problems of our long summers & falls has to do with germination! Will try several next year to weave thru what ends up being a dry summer bed & see what develops. |

| I've never had seedlings, but I garden upstate in zone 5. Beautiful grass in bloom, that's for sure. I fall in love with it every September when it flowers. Stirs the soul. By the way, grass has been reclassified according to some sources (but not all) as Stipa brachytricha. |
