3po3 on Jul 08, 2012It's got a funny name, but the 'Karl Foerster' ornamental grass is beautiful and low-maintenance. There is a photo here: http://clark.wsu.edu/volunteer/mg/gm_tips/OrnamentalGImages10.html And an epic list of grasses for your climate here (with tons of information): http://clark.wsu.edu/volunteer/mg/gm_tips/OrnamentalGrass3.htmlHelpful Reply

Dee W on Jul 08, 2012check out "zebra grass" also. It is a fast multiplier, and holds up to heavy rain and winds. You don't cut it back until spring when there is new growth so it adds interest in the winter, too.Helpful Reply

Susan S on Jul 09, 2012I think Zebra grass is the neatest looking stuff!! I've been saying for a couple of years I was going to get myself a zebra - don't know why I haven't done something about it. So Bernice, have you gone to any of your nurseries to see what they recommend? I have no idea what may be compatible in your climate. What works here or in Ohio may not survive in WA.Helpful Reply

Bernice H on Jul 10, 2012No, I am trying to find area carpets, hubs is the one who is looking for grass. I told him , I dont have time or energy, you do some looking for a change. So...he just writes my friends here on Hometalk! worm! Steve sent some info, but it is for southwest Washington, we are mid Washington, we get very cold winters and dry summers. So i will have to go to his suggested site and plug in mideastern Washington. We are on the Eastern side of the cascades. We get most of our water from the mountain snows and runoffs and irrigation water. We have super good peaches cherries, and apples! Sea grasses are not very popular here. But some medical buildings have them , so I told hubs to go ....ASK!Helpful Reply
