Hi,

I'm a humble beginner, but have fallen for the decorative beauty of these neat plants. What perennial grasses can I grow here in Central Mn?
(I can't exchange seeds, because I haven't got any of my own yet.)

Don't have a LOT of space.... Just need a few nice clumps for contrast with my perennial flowers.

How do I grow them, do I start them indoors like my tomatoes, and when should I start? Last frost is about mid May.

Also most of my yard is shady? Any advice for a solar deprived person?

Lastly I've clipped tops of some local plants... How do I extract seeds to start, or do I just plant the whole tops as well.

Thanks for your kind assistance..
Gary
