    I should think it's Carex pendula againimage

    Have the shiny green leaves got a ridge up the back?

    Sounds like a Carex of some sort nut, I should think. Are the leaves narrow Valerie?  image

    Sounds more like a stipa gigantea with those tall stems and low foliage clump but a picture will definitely help.

    It was the 'catkins' than made me think C. pendula obelixx
