Deer Grass

Common name: Deer Grass
Botanical name: Muhlenbergia rigens

Deer Grass is a warm season perennial grass that forms dense clumps from the base. The spike-like flower stalks grow 2'-3' tall in summer. This grass has dramatic and handsome form. Deer Grass needs watering once or twice a month after it has been established. It is very water efficient but looks better with regular waterings.

Giant Feather Grass

Common name: Giant Feather Grass
Botanical name: Stipa gigantea

This grass will grow 2'-3' tall and 2'-3' wide. It has narrow, dark green leaves with golden flowers that bloom in the summer. Tall grasses are highly combustible.

Purple Chinese Wisteria

Common name: Purple Chinese Wisteria
Botanical name: Wisteria sinensis 'Cooke's Special'

This deciduous vine quickly and aggressively spreads 30' wide. During spring, leaves just start to bud out and fragrant long clusters of lilac purple flowers hang below foliage. Will occasionally re-bloom in summer. After bloom period, leaves appear as leaflets, followed by drooping pods. This vine does best in full to part sun with well draining, moist, rich soil. It will tolerate less moisture if established. Give it something to climb on.
