This is one of my favorite grasses, as it moves so gracefully in a breeze. It's one major drawback in my garden is that after a rain it flops badly. I have found, though, that by using a long garden stake to lift it and shake the water off, I can get it back upright again. This one is a "keeper" in my garden.

My vote is still out on this grass.
I love the plumes and the overall plant is attractive, at a distance. Upclose and personel, it is a "little" weedy(unruly) looking and tends to flop.
My plants are 2 years old. I have, now, relocated them, and will wait to see if the growing habits improve.
Like most grasses, they look wonderful, with the sun behind it.
