Bossy Grass Cage Match!

I’m planting 2 kinds of VERY bossy grasses in a small, built-in planter box in my front yard…

Which do you think will win?

I think the Elymus ‘Blue Dune’ will, because it’s stronger and more boisterous than the Jersey Shore kids.

But Imperata cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ runs like a pair of cheap panty hose…

What do you think?

Both are bossy- Who will win?

Elymus is a vicious thug. It will take over the world if left unchecked.

Keep us posted on the winner. I have never seen any of those varieties. Only used Miscanthus and a cute blue stem this year. Good luck.

Blue Dune…I have both. Blue Dune also runs just as bad and it’s taller and thicker.
