Trial: Perennial

Years Trialed: 2003, 2004

Good Qualities

Year 1

It grows like a weed; The color was really nice; Plants were in good shape on arrival, large flower heads.

Year 2

Kind of interesting for special work, but looks a bit weedy for my customers; Ease of cultivation; Good color, the crazy thing is my customers would rather buy johnson grass than this..go figure.

Problems

Year 1

What are we supposed to cut, flower or foliage? flower was not impressive, too weedy looking.

Year 2

Slow growing; Time consuming to harvest.

Comments

Year 1

Next year this should take off!; We have native grasses that are more desirable for cuts; I think this will be a very nice grass when there are numbers to pick, the fall color is almost better than the summer color; These were grown in one gallon pots and planted out in September, no data as yet.

Year 2

Keep in pots because I felt this grass is a weed;A designer’s choice at the retail florist; Three trialers reported on the vase life: 7.5, 10 and 12 days, respectively.
