| Hello!
I would like to plant something on my windowsill. I am looking for a plant that: • Can stand up to direct Eastern exposure (no buildings blocking the morning sun)
Would anyone have any suggestions? I am especially interested in Sedums or Grasses (the grass dying back in the Winter is okay). Thank you!

| You might try Silky Thread grass (Nassella tenuissima). It's a good size for a window, looks nice all year (it just needs gently combed or raked out in the early spring), and can look sculptural in the right context. It looks *fabulous* when the wind blows. It's recommended more for the west than the east, but since you'll be growing in pots you could probably come closer to re-creating its preferred environment. |
