Hi,

I need some tips. I have a long 30'x3' planting bed divided my backyard this year I filled it with Canna and I've just transplanted some zebra grass at each end. Musa Basjoos line the entrance. Of course I'll have to dig out the canna soon so for next year I want to add daylilies and an ornamental grass to the mix with the canna popped in here and there. I don't know what kind of grass to use?? I'm thinking 3'-4' tall.Clumping. Preferably a dark green with thick strap but I'm open to what you think would complement. I'm interested in the foliage. Most the grasses I see in catalogues have big feathery plumes I don't think are right for my garden.

The area is full sun and gets sprinkler water.

Also what is the name of the shorter zebra grass?
