Sometimes all the threads are helenh so I have kind of stopped monopolizing things. I do have a new grass from Ozark Nursery. Jet Streams dwarf pampas grass. The tag says hardy to zone 6. I bought one for me and one for my neighbor. I am going to ask the neighbor to check on my animals when I visit my sister. My link shows it. I did not pay $30 like the link price. Mine were reasonably priced.
