Clay is fine though. That's what mine grow in @c_watkins. I was really meaning when people keep adding loads of additional food [unnecessarily] to planting areas

Ok yes I see @Fairygirl - I don't feed much at all here as it's largely all in the clay. It's reassuring to know I can continue buying grasses with impunity heehee- I was thinking maybe I would have to dig out clay and put in lots of gravel or something. They are fantastic and I would like MORE!
Some grasses are fussier than others, but I can assure you that the one I mentioned definitely isn't Being a grass suitable for beside water, it copes with water logging and also dry conditions, so it's very useful.

Calamagrostis is pretty resilient, so you must have a seriously windy spot. I would recommend one of the slightly smaller and finer leaved Miscanthus such as Adagio or Kleine Fontaine.
"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour".
On the windy south coast I grew Miscanthus 'Ghana'... this plant has two interesting features, one is the remarkable autumn colours, all crimsons and deep reds... the flower plumes which start off normal shape, quickly turn bolt upright and become very rigid, in the same way as the Karl Foerster grass, and stiffer than the Panicum ..
My plant never got above 5 foot but I notice the stated heights are usually above this, but that wasn't my experience in that location..
