Professional Growing Information This grass is beautiful and tough. I didn't mark them as my absolute favorite because that spot is for my hydrangeas, however, I now have SEVEN of this variety so that should tell you something. They are exactly as pictured and appear unbothered by variable water conditions in my zone 6 environment.
