Hello, yes, ornamental grasses are great. Do you grow miscanthus?

@ Yes I do but, I don’t remember the varieties of hand. I grow them all in large containers so I can move them around my garden.

They do well in pots

It's my favourite Deschampsia, it'll do well in brum.

Wouldn't it be better to leave them to help protect the plant and cut down in spring

Thank you for your suggestion. Some plants are cut in the spring, but I cut tall plants before the snow falls because they will break and be crushed under the weight of the snow. Also, once the snow piles up it protects the plants from the cold.

@つぴつぴ-x3g what country are you in?

I live in Sapporo, in the north of Japan. I recently got into grasses and started watching your channel.

@つぴつぴ-x3g your country has superb grasses, I'm pleased you like grasses now.

Thank you

I'm in the UK so I can't answer the hummingbird one, but yes to bees and flies etc.

Is the coir washed in ordinary water, not salt water, as some coir is

I have to tolerate some weeds , regular hoeing helps as does planting heavily, which helps to keep them down. I used to be obsessive about removing them, but I now don't let them run my garden life. Mulching your borders helps, but it is not a cheap option.

Yes, I'm a massive ornamental grass fan

Thanks

He really is a looker. He uses it to his advantage, too. 😄

I feel that if I repeat them, it makes it easier for those who are interested in getting one

Ironically, I never mentioned the rose name. It's called Rosa 'Starlight Symphony', and a bonus is it's practically disease free.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 thanks, I’ll look for it, I really like rose hips,orange, doesn’t matter. I think your garden looks great this season!

@YarrowPressburg try online at david Austin roses, they may have it.

Thanks

It takes most of the sites , I think the point I'm making is it'll take shade,

Thank you, hard work, but it's beginning to pay off.

Always

Not sure what that says , but thanks 😀

Give it a go , although some grasses are listed as sun they often take shade, Hackonechloa macra take shade as does calamagrostis brachytricha.

I'll try remember to include companion planting, I have done a couple of videos recommending companion plants, but I can't remember which videos, I've done a few!

Thank you

Yes, I did build it, I used old reclaimed pine, and the finial was found on an old post that was abandoned, I've made a few over the years but this was a challenge as it was fairly complex.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 You did a great job. It looks amazing. I'm looking to build a similar one.

That's great. I hope it goes well ​@sonjag.1511

I'll do my best to accommodate your request

@@upatgrassybottom9859 thank you. I have learnt a lot from following your videos and some of my prejudices to certain plants have been eradicated. 😊

Sounds interesting ​@@helenyoung8012

Thanks

Are you referring to miscanthus, jubilaris?

@@upatgrassybottom9859 giganteus

I think it's zone 6 to 9, I grow plants for different soil requirements, and the ones for dry are in the gravel garden as its south facing all day

Thank you for your kind words, with regards to the best early miscanthus. For me, it's definitely miscanthus samurai , it has a great leaf colour, which comes in early and is the first to send up its seed heads, it's relatively short making around 3 feet at best.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 'Samurai' is ideal perfect what I'm looking for! I saw the Andropogon in your video, there's a new one called 'Karl's Cousin' ... Hoffman Nursery shows two photos upon their website, I'm eager to obtain this new selection when made available!

@TRguy64 just checked it out, it looks great.

I had to look up the mentioned book, I can say it's not me that wrote it, my garden is a culmination of previous gardens I've made, and my love of gardens and design in general , I just love what I do, I don't garden as a job , it's my hobby but a hobby I wouldn't be without.

Thanks Nelly, maybe one day you'll visit.

It's a great time for my garden, I'm already planning to add more grasses

Yes, it really is at its best

I've not seen those two, but I've seen some great Polish grasses on line, I'm not sure if miscanthus fire dragon is Polish, but I have miscanthus megadot which I believe is Polish

I don't think I've ever suffered attacks from voles. Are you in a cold country?

Probably not

There will be plenty of grasses that suit your climate, but yes, you'll need to try a few out as you may have a micro climate to deal with.

Yes, it can appear like that. Always wear gloves , I only wear them when cutting back the spent flowers, but it's good practice to wear them always.

It's likely to be slugs or snails. My own plants suffer too, but they usually grow away after a month or so, making them less tasty. They prefer to go for new growth.

Thank you

Thanks

Could you translate it please

@@upatgrassybottom9859 I liked your sedge plants and miscanthus /google translator 😉

@@mano.kiemas thank you

Thanks for watching

Thank you

It can often take a couple of years for it to settle in, give it a nitrogen feed in spring once new growth starts. Which one do you have?

@@upatgrassybottom9859 Thanks I will do ! I have a few varieties, but think the mistake that I made with the giganteus is that I split it up early this year and didn't plant until May. I Need to leave it in the groundfor next year to get the height increase i believe.

That's great, I'd love to see the gardens over there.

It certainly is

@RedCoin91 thanks, I hope you enjoy future videos.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 I'm going to binch watch your videos. May In ask what soil type you have? and PH? In which zone do you garden? Sorry, lots of questions.

@RedCoin91 I'm in the uk , I garden on a chalk base, but it has a good moisture, retentive soil, with clay in one part, I never test pH as most plants we can get hold of are good for us.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 Thank you 😉

@@RedCoin91 you're welcome

It's bigger than the average garden, but quite manageable.

You're welcome

Thanks, I do enjoy taking you all around my garden

Anamanthele lessoniana, it's in this video.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 Missed it so sorry!

Its around 51 minutes ​@sarahjones-jf4pr

They are handmade like bricks. They are from a very old farming estate where they were likely to be used as hardcore. They are clay.
