Sticks, you can usually pick up purple fountain grass at HD. I have several in my garden, along with toffee twist (a carex), and blood grass, and some ponytail grass that I grew from seed this spring. I have a second carex as well, but I can't remember it's name. I also have a dwarf hamlen fountain grass.

Unfortunately, I can't take pictures today because of the rain. Most of the grasses don't show alot of growth yet either. I am including a couple of pictures from last year. This one is the hamlen, surrounded by daylillies and dusty miller. The second one will be the purple fountain grass.

My 2007 garden is radically different from last years', and contains more grasses than before because they are low maintanace and provide a nice airy look.
