Ornamental Grass

Which Grasses for height and beauty?

18 years ago

I am looking for some grasses that grow tall (5'-6') with plumes or flowers. I would like something that will grow fast as I will be placing the grass or grasses between 2 ninebark diablo's which stand about 6' or 7' high right now. I have about a 10' wide space to work with. Any suggestions? I am working with clay soil and about 6 hours of sun per day from the northeast. Thanks
