Insights
Highly effective, all ornamental grasses offer graceful movement in a border and the texture softens hard edges in a courtyard or on the edge of a path. P. Dark Desire can also be successfully planted as a specimen in a container positioned in full sun. This useful perennial grass also has the advantage of not appealing to deer!
