Days are short and its getting to be very cold outside. Most of the plants are gone but grasses are still beautiful. My favorite is Miscanthus family. The are warm season grasses, they start to grow and of May and are in the full glory in August and September. Miscanthus doesn’t need much, full sun and average soil. I have them growing in dry setting and in the areas flooded in the spring. I even try then in light shade.
I recommend to split them every 3-4 years, its hard to split big clumps. For few years I use an axe to split the grasses
Don’t over fertilize your grasses, grasses actually prefer to be grown on the lean side. They will be sturdier without the addition of the high-powered nutrients. Fast growing ornamental grasses will be unable to hold themselves up. Result – floppy plants. Ornamental grasses, need to be well watered after planting .
I love the colour and the movement of the grasses in the wind. The are wonderful addition to winter landscape . I usually cut them back in the April.
We sell 2 gal pots of field grown plants for $ 10 a pot.
Miscanthus Graziella
Opuntia polyacantha is one of my favorite cacti. Big pads, lots of spines and big, beautiful flowers. It’s very hardy and looks good in the spring. Its also easy to start from seed. That’s how I started mine.
I ordered 1 pack of pink flower Opuntia polyacantha. After 3 years my patch in the sand garden had pink, raspberry, yellow and almost white flowers. So, there is a question, did I got mix of seeds or its just result of cross pollination?
Any way, I am very happy with the results, as are my customers.
On the picture the most popular colour, dusty pink. It is stunning.
On the picture: flowers on the magnolia from seeds. We have few whips potted for this year.
This cultivar is a golden form of Shore Juniper. Low spreading shrub with bright golden yellow long-needled foliage, developing slight bronze overtones in winter. 
This is an evergreen groundcover that grows to 6” in height and a spread of 6’ at full maturity. It forms a flat carpet that roots as the original plant spreads out in a circular fashion.
Most of junipers are quite prickly, this one is soft and pleasant to the touch.
I have one growing for two years in my rockery, full sun, not too much water us I depend on mother nature.

Donkey Tail is a common name for Euphorbia myrsinites, which is a lovely little rock garden plant. It has evergreen foliage with a hint of blue, and grows bunches of yellow flowers in the spring.
If you let the seeds develop, you may have a problem. Donkey Tail plants seed profusely. About two weeks ago I weeded around 200 of them. It was so hot that I wiped the sweat from my face and got some of the sap on my face. Within minutes my face and lips were burning terribly. It took around 15 minutes under running cold water to wash it off, but I was lucky to not get it in my eyes as the sap can cause temporary blindness. After two days the burning feeling had cleared completely, but I strongly suggest using gloves whenever you handle this plant.
Happy planting!
They are beautiful plant , foliage and flowers , the whole package
