My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ornamental Grass

Panicum questions

21 years ago

I had a large border area where I was considering "Cloud nine", and "Heavy metal" as background plants. How hard are these grasses to work with? Specifically I am avoiding pampas grass because of its razor edges and huge root ball. I have also seen comments on spread by seedlings. It will be more of an informal border, and grazed on by deer if they like the plant. From my understanding, deer leave most ornamental grasses alone. Thanks
