Hi forumites, can anyone tell me what this grass is. It was in an NGS garden this summer but sadly it person who planted it could not remember the name?
I'm not really a fan of grasses but I do like this one and have seeds to sow next spring. I expect Plant World and Chiltern Seeds stock them too as that's where I usually buy my seeds.

I think that's Melica altissima 'Atropurpurea'
In the sticks near Peterborough
Oooh excellent nut cutlet, i'll google and see if i can buy one, thank you ?
That really is rather splendid isn't it? I wonder where I could find room ............... I see Beth Chatto sells them http://www.bethchatto.co.uk/grasses/melica/melica-altissima-atropurpurea.htm
