Grass Garden And Magnificent: The annual ornamental grasses are usually grown for their seed panicles flowers are there but they are minute and hardly noticeable many of which dry beautifully for winter bouquets. Leaves of these grasses are usually not too showy.
The perennials have magnificent and varied foliage, with all shades of green, blue, and variegations of cream, white, gold, or a host of tans, in addition to notable seed heads.
On the opposite page is Ravenna grass, one of the stars in the grass garden and magnificent even in a northern garden.Feathertop grass (Pennisetum villosum) grows between 2 and 3 feet tall and is an annual in the North, perennial in the South. It's often termed Pennisetum longistylum in catalogs. The grass is rather sloppy in appearance, for the magnificent flowers become quite heavy. If picked before they open entirely they can be dried but they shatter with the slightest bump. They do make beautiful fresh flowers.

On The Other Hand See Rock Garden Society:Martha Houghton, at the first meeting of the American Rock Garden society, 1934. tfy first visit to a true alpine garden was in the spring of 1977 vhen I met Budd Myers and had the rare opportunity of touring his lillside domain in northeast Pennsylvania, on the fringes of the 3ocono Mountains. I had seen pictures of other such gardens before nit they always looked like a technicolor world with brilliant dots of ntense but unreal tinting and a great deal of cunningly placed rock, lence the other name for such plant collections: rock gardens.Royal Horticultural Society is one of the all-time greats.
