Japanese forest grass is called "Fuchi grass" in Japan. There are three types of them: golden leaves, white spots, and green. The wind grass in your garden is big, very splendid and wonderful. "Fuchi grass" means grass that knows the wind. Thank you for the video. I will use it as a reference for planting in the shade.
Great video! Greetings from NC. My experience with the liriope has been the green spreads quite a bit while the yellow variegated behaves and stays in clumps. Thanks for sharing! Beautiful grasses. 😊
I tried the blue fescue last year in pots and it was beautiful all summer. Have ordered the zebra grass, and a wheat-type grass, and lemon grass this year to try. Am in S. Alberta, so should have some plants in common with you. Excellent video!
Beautiful grasses..I have a burgundy Pennisetum plant by my mailbox..Next year I'll do one of my many rock gardens which is planted maybe 4ft from the mailbox off the sidewalk..I like the sound of grasses, Salvia's and white daisies..Thank you for bringing beautiful videos to TH-cam!!
Hi Debbie I just Love these grasses. I have two Liriope Silvery Sun proof and I just Love them. Great video on Grasses and I love your yard. Thank you for sharing. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed day tomorrow and Stay Safe my Friend.
Hey. I’m on the west coast of Tasmania Australia and gardens here are a challenge. You’ve given me some great ideas. I like soft and pretty and plants the produce spike flowers like agapanthus and bearded irises. But I can see that grasses might do well here. I’ll have to give them a go as I love their movement and graceful drooping. Thank you.
I haven’t seen any new videos for several weeks. I know that 2020 has been topsy-turvey for everyone in the gardening industry but I really miss your Garden Style tours packed with tips and great information. I’ve been looking forward to seeing your beautiful fall planters! I hope that all is well with you and that we’ll see a new update soon!
I have a lot of grasses mostly non invasive. Be aware of the Lirope I have is the dark green one. It was wonderful as a show piece but oh man does it run. I spent the day yesterday digging out the new ones and I think I am going to dig out the parent plant as although it looks great it is just too much work to control. MIne is growing right inside my hosta so they have to go.
I noticed you have a dapple willow next the Japanese grass. Would love for you to make a video on growth & care since I planted mine over a year ago. It’s doubled in size & need to know how to keep it maintained.
I have 105 variegated liriope in my garden in South Jersey! I use them to line most of my flower beds! They are the best! Can divide and make more! I usually plant plugs and in one season you can grow a full plant! The variegated liriope do not spread by rizomes ! Be aware that the solid green liriope has 2 cultivars! 1 is highly invasive, the others is not! Blue Lily turf is the none invasive cultivar!
Just the comment I was looking for. I planted some in my garden yesterday (before doing my research) but today I’m here and almost cried when I discovered that they can take over your garden however I was relieved when I saw that they aren’t all aggressive, just a certain variety. I have liriope muscari super blue is it invasive?
I just found your channel and I love it! Recently moved to northern Sacramento (Central Valley) from South Florida. Wow! What a difference. Needless to say, I need guidance. I realize I’m in a warmer and definitely drier zone than you, but your info/advice is wonderful. My challenge is finding things to tolerate 100+ temps and not a drop of rain since March. And then temps in the 30’s with rain in the winter.
Yea!! A little tour! its been a while. Nice to see how far along your place has come very beautiful! I love all the grasses i have a MissCanthus, Lirope, and pink Pompas grass i think is what its called. I have alot of shade in the back and ive been wanting to do a border of that Japanese forest grass for a while! Only one nursery carries it near me and its really expensive so ive got to save up for that. I live in Louisville or i would be buying some from your nursery. I also love Purple fountain grass! I love all gardening videos and garden tours where ever your from lol Good to hear from you! Happy Gardening! take care!
This is really helpful! I am in the process of selecting some grasses for a shady spot and a sunny spot in my garden and this really helped! I especially liked seeing how you had yours arranged in your garden! I have subscribed to your channel and will be watching more videos because this one was SO helpful!
For people in the Northeast zones who love the blue tones in a cold hardy grass - take a look at Blue Avena grass, otherwise known as Helictotrichon sempervirens, grows to about 4 ft., 5' with the seed heads. And Miscanthus 'Cabaret' for a cold hardy variegated grass. I'm in Zone 5a in Vermont - in that cold a zone, let alone Zone 4 here, many of the grasses in the video will die.
I love ornamental grasses. My favorites are the Japanese Forest grass (so glad there's a grass for shade - I have quite a number of them now) and I also love Purple Fountain Grass. Sure wish it was tough enough to come back each year though. I have another grass that is perfect but I don't know the name of it. It's green with touches of reddish maroon, stands upright and has small airy feathers not plumes. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the education on different grasses. I'm curious to know what type of grass you planted around your vegetables raised bed gardens when you said "baby grass coming". Do you have to move that grass? I'm looking for drawf fescue grass that requires no mowing. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you so much!
According to googles “how do you pronounce” tool, Liriope is lr-ai-ow-pee with an emphasis on the second syllable. That plant name gets me every time so I defer to just calling it lilyturf.
Funny, I had always read and heard that liriope isn’t a true grass, but a good faker. It sure looks like one, and flowers are a plus! Glad to know there’s a variegated option for the shade. Can the Japanese forest grass handle DRY shade?
Love grasses, but many HOA will not allow, because fire hazard and home to mosquitos, nats, etc. Like them as accent plant, great filler. Not fond of too many grasses, freeze hard and take forever to recoup severe pruning. Some varieties are host for snail/slugs.
We had a serpentine like that in a pot and I trimmed mine after about 3 or 4 years I did not like the serpentine shape so it looks more Asian shape now and I like it much better
That's how I've always pronounced it too. I've had several clumps growing in full Missouri sun, zone 6 for years and they stay nice and tidy without forming a mat like the green monkey grass does
I would love to know more about low maintenance/drought resistant evergreen grasses that work on a steep slope? Im trying to replace English Ivy with a more "coastal NW" feel
just finished my last day as a 'waterer' (lol) at a garden centre for a big box store, yesterday, and, already having horticultura withdrawal; this just hit the spot though! thx
I have one called "Oat Grass" and it throws seed out and pops up wherever! It is a beautiful dark green and grows in sun or semi-shade, about 2' tall. Small clumps grow slowly.
A Mexican feather grass showed up under the liquid amber tree in front of the house last fall. No one in our neighborhood has any planted so this was definitely a volunteer via the wind or birds! Husband loves it but it’s competing for water from the other plants and tree in this area. If I can get it out it goes this fall!
I know this video is a almost 2yrs old, but I'm hoping someone who knows grasses could answer this question.... When I look at height listed on the plant's label, is that referring to the max height of the plumes when its in full bloom? Or is it referring just to the max height of the leaves/blades? Thank you so much.
I am moving to a sunny yard. I would like some ideas with which to fill up my sunny south facing back yard and north facing front yard. There currently is one dark red leaf 15 ft tree in the centre of the yard. So far my new to me yard has only one bush in the back side and a half dead cherry tree at the centre very back. There is an old wood plank sidewalk to the back shed. I am on Vancouver Island, so being deer resistant is a must and in zone 7. All my yard is visible to all my immediate neighbours, so I am planting (small now but will be huge much later) cedars along the periphery of my back yard. Any suggestions? Thank you
That sounds great! I'm doing something similar. I also live in zone 7, but in the southeast US. For sunny locations like yours, you should check out gardenias (evergreen), Indian Hawthorne (evergreen), perennial or bush hibiscus varieties, crape myrtles (not sure for your area). For quicker evergreen privacy screening, check out fragrant tea olives and hollys (chinese variety is probably the quickest), boxwoods and Japanese boxwoods look very formal and tolerate both sun and shade, but are very slow growing. For me, with a shady yard, I have to say that I love Camellias and encore azalea shrubs the best for their wonderful evergreen foliage and flowers.
Hello, watch your video. I really interested in grasses and junipers. That can survive the 117 plus degrees here in Az. Can you help me. And are there any oak trees, that can live here?

Thank you for putting the names of the plants on the screen!
Oooh -a six-foot Miscanthus? I hope it's not excessively expensive, because I want about ten of them! Beautiful.
Oh! And the zebra one too.
What a fantastic video! Thanks for sharing.
My neighbor got rid of her grasses and almost threw them away before I rescued them. I love it!
The Red Rooster grass you showed looks just like a sedge I just planted in zone 5b Colorado that is called Red Fox Curly Sedge
Thanks for showing us around your garden !
Great video! Greetings from NC. My experience with the liriope has been the green spreads quite a bit while the yellow variegated behaves and stays in clumps. Thanks for sharing! Beautiful grasses. 😊
Well, this was worth watching till the end! Loved that Hosta / Grass mixture with the tiny leaves and many blooms of the Azalea there too.
I tried the blue fescue last year in pots and it was beautiful all summer. Have ordered the zebra grass, and a wheat-type grass, and lemon grass this year to try. Am in S. Alberta, so should have some plants in common with you. Excellent video!
Thanks for the informative video and the tour.

Love your videos plus garden answer
I didn't know there were so many varieties of grasses. Thank you for sharing!
Love ornamental grasses. They add such great foliage, textures and structure to a garden.😊🇨🇦
Thank u
I love your channel ❤️. I'm watching from Iowa 5/11/22. You a are excellent teacher!!!
Thank you! I learned so much during this episode! 😀 🌾 I love have grasses sway in the breeze, too.
Awesome Very Nice
The pronunciation of Liriope that I prefer is La-rye-oh-pea
Thank you for your knowledge of the grass plants. Now have to get some to plant in my garden.
Thanks for sharing, it was very helpful (-: Greetings from the Netherlands

Time to up the game in the grasses dept.. I have the perfect spot to begin. Thanks great video😳🐦💙
I just planted some Zebra grass last year and it has really grown in a beautiful specimen. Great video for the grass.
Hydrangeas
I’ve kept many of these ornamental grasses and loved them all. So many varieties and looks for many landscape applications. Great video
Love the Japanese forest grass. Going to get me some of that. Beautiful!
She mispronounced that too. Ask for "Hack ON a klo a"
Foliage, texture and colour of that Japanese grass looks great for front or mid borders!
That Japanese forest grass is HUGE!!! You can tell what great care you take in your garden. Thanks for sharing

Hi Debbie, thank u from South Africa, summer is coming soon. Love the grasses.
Love all the videos. Always looking forward to the next video.
Thrilled to see your video! Always learn something 🌲🎈Thanks

Wow that’s a lot! I also have many variegated liriope here in PA, they are so great. I have them in shade and sun, they are tough.
I bet Carol Heinemann has a gorgeous garden. I would love to see it. How can you not love gardening? It is addictive.
Just the comment I was looking for. I planted some in my garden yesterday (before doing my research) but today I’m here and almost cried when I discovered that they can take over your garden however I was relieved when I saw that they aren’t all aggressive, just a certain variety. I have liriope muscari super blue is it invasive?
@@ms.ashleigh9268that’s not invasive. I bought a few this year from the garden center and loving them.
BRO MY MOM
I just added hameln dwarf pennesitum to my landscape and the plumes are looking soft. It add the right texture. Thank you!
Greetings from NYS 🤗Great channel👍
Great topic, I´ve been recently more and more interested in ornamental grasses...
Loved the grasses. Thanks for the ideas

Judy Hibel I had Liriope when I lived up the road in Foresthill, placer county.

Be careful with Morning Light! It looks so soft, but if you run your fingers down a leaf, it will slice your fingers open. (Yes, voice of experience!)
...the grasses have their defense ... like pampas grass ... can getcha ...
Thank you from New Zealand, summer coming soon.
Absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful plants. I love the Miscanthus. New subscriber

Thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️
Misses seeing your videos. Just found this. Will search to see if you have a recent garden and garden center tour.
LOVE IT,BEAUTIFUL GARDEN 😍 ❤
Great new video about grasses! 🌾 Gotta get some liriope! 😅
Enjoyed this video! Your garden is beautiful!
👍 lovin your channel , keep em commimg!
Thank you so much for sharing ma’am new support here.
My carex red rooster only does well in sun. I have several all doing well, but one in the shade never grew.
I see liriope all over gardening channels. They always pronounce it "la RYE a pea"
That is correct. It is pronounced “ La RYE’ a Pee. 😉👍🏼
What a beautiful garden. New subscriber here.
I love your videos🌱
Love grasses, but many HOA will not allow, because fire hazard and home to mosquitos, nats, etc. Like them as accent plant, great filler. Not fond of too many grasses, freeze hard and take forever to recoup severe pruning. Some varieties are host for snail/slugs.
I enjoy your videos, they are easy to follow and very helpful. Can you please include if a plant that you are featuring is deer resistant?
We had a serpentine like that in a pot and I trimmed mine after about 3 or 4 years I did not like the serpentine shape so it looks more Asian shape now and I like it much better
Very helpful. Thank you!
Leer eye oh pea is how I pronounce liriope.
Yes, like calliope. :-)
Victoria Ring It is an Australian native and not a grass. Proper pronunciation is actually Leer E Ope no matter what the Americans call it.
I always pronounce liriope like calliope. If it's wrong, I don't want to be right.
That is a correct pronunciation.
That's how I've always pronounced it too. I've had several clumps growing in full Missouri sun, zone 6 for years and they stay nice and tidy without forming a mat like the green monkey grass does
Yep. Made a post that said TH-cam gardeners I've watched all pronounce "la RYE o pea"
Lol I’m always mispronouncing plant names.
@@northeasthardytropicals541 Easy to do. I called huekera the easier common name coral bells until I finally figured out how to say huekera!
Wondering when we will be seeing you again please, in Aust we pronounce as leer e ope
Hello,
Do you have a video on how and when to prune magnolia bushes?
Can you do a video on how to divide grasses! Thank you
I would love to know more about low maintenance/drought resistant evergreen grasses that work on a steep slope? Im trying to replace English Ivy with a more "coastal NW" feel
Funny, I didn’t think Mexican Feather Grass was hardy in zones 5 or 6. I’ve always loved the look, but didn’t think they would stick around for me 😃
They are very very very prolific seeders
just finished my last day as a 'waterer' (lol) at a garden centre for a big box store, yesterday, and, already having horticultura withdrawal; this just hit the spot though! thx
We pronounce it’s you said 😘🇬🇧🇬🇧
I have just been thinking of planting some of those grasses 👍
Thanks for the very informative video. Do any of the grasses in this video have seeds that will spread and pop up some where else in the garden?
The mexican feather grass is known for re-seeding. The others are pretty well behaved. Lol
I have one called "Oat Grass" and it throws seed out and pops up wherever! It is a beautiful dark green and grows in sun or semi-shade, about 2' tall. Small clumps grow slowly.

Usually with the plumes included. 🙂
What is the name of the plant directly behind the two big clumps of Japanese forest grass please
Any suggestions on low maintenance plants that will do good on pots? Unfortunately I have some health limitation due to artritis!
Leriope rhymes with "Papaya Tree."
I have both varieties, and it really does survive anywhere.
I would have guessed the Carex morrowii Ever Glow was a lariope. This one doesn't bloom?

What's the plant name in the thumbnail picture for this video with the purple flower spikes?
I have a problem with rabbits eating my liriope grass and hostas. Any remedy to protect my plants?
Homemade garlic spray it also deters slugs and snails
Could I plant a rooster grass in containers and bring in during winter?
Yes! you can!
How do I get rid of it ? The Lilly turf
How will you keep your sod nice and neat between raise beds? Just weed wack?
I lay bark mulch!
Is the spider plant kind of grass?
A word of caution on the carex, it spreads like wildfire.
