Yes, but they LOOK like grasses. I still plant them for their "grasslike" form. As I do for carex, Phormium, liriope. But I agree we have all digressed from the original question
I grew loads of this grass then had a bit of a moment and had a vision of my meadow being taken over by tussocky grass and got rid of it. I really don't know what I was thinking, I'd gone to so much trouble getting the seed too. Now I'll have to start again, and if my meadow does get tussocky then I'll just learn to love it.
Thanks for all your suggestions. I'll probably go with Deschampsia cespitosa for my border, but I'll see how I can use the 'wilder' grasses in other parts of the garden.
