Holly,

Talking about Ornamental Grasses.......
I have seedlings all over the place from my Northern Sea Oats. They are like a tall blade of grass that has branched a bit. Want some??? They would be no weight at all to mail. probably a big bubble envelope,,,

These grow about 3' tall and have loosely pendulous seed heads that look just like-DAH-oats.
In the late Fall--they turn a light maroon and later just all dry up and fall down. That is how they all spread.

This Fall (soon) I have promised myself to cut all the seed heads off as they went all in mt beds and everywhere--and have been growing all summer.
I have pulled up many--potted them and given them away. They come up easy--have a nice tap-root already.

Here they are already in the dried state.
