I was just trying to shoot a close-up of some of its seeds this evening and gave up--I would have sworn the weather was calm, but the grass was moving in every teeny breath of a breeze! So beautiful. Your mullein has inspired me--I have some irises that just aren't working, and that looks like it would fill the same Big Foliage role. What does it do in winter?Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912410521681649455.post-8983203143552893962012-05-17T09:50:51.511-05:002012-05-17T09:50:51.511-05:00Feather grass is one of my favorites.

It's a tough plant...and the deer don't eat it. <br />I 'recued' some mullein seed from a plant on the side of the road. Just need to get them out there. I hope they come up.
