What plants could I use in zone 10 to give appearance of water?

Douglas Hunt on Jul 19, 2013You don't say whether this is going to be in sun or shade, Lynne. For a sunny situation, if you would like something to flower, how about firecracker plant (Russelia rquisetiformis), which has a fountainlike habit, in combination with a trailing groundcover like coral creeper (Baleria repens). For shade, how about Xanadu philodendron with liriope?Helpful Reply

Lynne Fernandez on Jul 23, 2013Thanks for the answers, but I'm still hoping for more ideas. The garden is in full sun but I'd like to give it a "blue" appearance as well as motion.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Jul 23, 2013If you're going for a blue that moves, instead of fountain grass, seek out Panicum amarum "Dewey Blue." I have three in my front yard. The glaucous foliage is lovely and they sway in the slightest breeze.Helpful Reply

Lynne Fernandez on Jul 23, 2013This plant is only hardy to zone 9. Do you know if it will grow in zone 10? It is beautiful.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Jul 24, 2013Lynne, I can only say that is is doing very well in my 9B front yard a block from the beach. But the straight species, Panicum amarum, is listed as part of the "Natives for Your Neighborhood" program in South Florida, so I don't know why the cultivar wouldn't do OK: http://regionalconservation.org/beta/nfyn/plantdetail.asp?tx=PaniamarHelpful Reply
