On the border

Zebra grass £9.99 in a 2 litre pot from Crocus ( prob top price ) Do you grow any grasses from seed @shiney , I'm after a few ideas for next year.
Grew Sirocco and Squirrel Tail this year , we were very pleased with them .

 

Wow , now that is a stunning planting plan !

 

Really lovely effect @shiney. So much more to my taste anyway, than relatively boring conifers. I wanted to grow tall grasses along the back of a border I created a few years back, then there was an "incident" as in the photo which made me have to have a rethink. I now grow mainly Hellebore at the back of the border which are finished before the likelihood of trouble appears. Works fine but would have liked you planting better. Can't moan too much as give me sheep and cattle as next door neighbours any day. Apart from the odd stretched neck occurrence we get absolutely no neighbour disputes what so ever

 

It is lovely to look through pictures of plantings past, and such a good way to while away a cold dark hour (and it`s raining) ... and new ideas can easily be gleaned too.
This is good incentive to finish clearing a new patch here before the Spring arrives - need to be ready for a whole new planting plan - and it will include lots of grasses!

 

Honey bearing spurge

 

Why is that such a horrific idea then? Mind you I don`t trust myself to grow any kind of Euphorbia, as I don`t remember to put gloves on half the time. Not sure, but I seem to remember this particular plant being called ''asthma weed'' or something similar, in Queensland as it is supposedly used to cure lung type illnesses ....

 

Thanks @shiney, not sure my border is wide enough? for this Euphorbia unfortunately. It's long about 100 odd ft but only about 6ft wide if that. Your border reminded me of mine being long and narrow. I already grow Euphorbia Fireglow in this border and it's decidedly rampant. It got well and truly chopped back in the Spring and what I cut off sold like hot cakes at my plant sale. The last time I looked it had almost grown back to how it was before I attacked it so looks like I am going to have to have another sale. My whole body hurts even at the thought of doing the sale again
