Stunning! What plants esp grasses and carex do we have here? How long after planting are these photos? Does everything get cut down & removed periodically?

    Hello Amy,

    Thank you for your interest in our work! Everything is about a year old in this photo. The pink grasses are the Pink Muhly grass, along with a main mix of the California native Juncus and Carex pansa. Also pictured are evergreen daylilies and variegated bearded iris, Carex buchanii, and the white
    flowering grass is an evergreen bulb called Zephyranthes candida.

    A biennial hard
    pruning/cleanup is beneficial, but it depends on the species. Please be sure to check individual maintenance notes for each species.

    Best of luck to you on your project!
