One of our girls is a very talented crafter so I think I must get her some of these seeds! I'd never heard of this one but I'm not much into grasses so that's probably why. I have so little gardening space I'm afraid of grasses needing more room than I'm willing to share! But DD has lots of room and even said she'd welcome something mildly invasive if it will hold her dirt down until she can get to it! Thanks. - Carol

Hi Carol,

I'm a bit afraid of grasses too, I've heard horror stories of invasive species. So far I've been lucky and have really enjoyed the grasses I've grown. This one was a real bonus and it really didn't take up much room at all when grown in a large pot.

Would you like me to send you some seeds? I still have some (2008) here. I was going to use them for my rosary, but Patricia (the jewelry designer) used her own seeds since she had them ready-to-go. I can't wait to see it. It is here hidden until Xmas :)

I lost my fear of grasses when they invented round - up!
If grasses gets to big for their breeches, that is what I reach for.
The necklaces are beautiful. Is the white ones painted with pearl paint, or is that a natural color?

Hi Liquid, all the seeds are natural colors. Our Jobs tears plant has seeds on it now and I'm noticing that the longer the seeds are left to ripen, they seem to go from shades of brown/black to a white/gray/pearl color.

Happy & Healthy Gardening,
