Paul--

My one clump (so far) is in the middle of the bend of my YUK bed.
I never realized how many plants I have that bloom in blue or purple????
Must be a fixation........

I no longer have my N. Sea Oats--Thank God! It has now been years--but every
now and then I still see one coming up in this bed.
That was the problem--the "Oats" seeded ALL over my YUK bed ant it was
insane to try to dig up all the ones that were sprouting. Endless!!!!
That is the bad part about these---but you can cut off the Oat seed-heads
before they dry and that will be it. However--those ARE the beauty of this plant.

Funny......I dug one sprout up and potted it and was going to take it to the swap--
but no one asked for it. You can have it--it is just one nice, sturdy spike.
I will keep it going until I see you again.

BTW---The :Sea Oats like any crummy soil to grow in. No special care---
I always thought they would look great on a sea-shore property. After all--
they ARE called "SEA Oats".....

Mine used to grow on the "doomed bed" where I want to get rid of all the rotting ties
and dig it down flat to get rid of this "bed"....by the Lilac bush.

This bed----taken in April of this year. No wonder my YUK bed was full of seedlings..
it is right next to it.
