I live near Navasota, Tx in zone 8b in the Blackland Prarie (black gumbo clay). I planted Ivory Feathers around my A/C last summer and they are beautiful! I love the plumes and they stayed green all winter long, even though we had ice. The leaves are sharp, but no problem if I wear gloves and long sleeves.

I love the look of this grass and the fact that this is a dwarf version. But I heard on a PBS gardening show that it is sharp and requires long sleeves and gloves to trim!!!! Please tell me this isn't so! I guess I won't be able to use it.
