Imperata

… or Japanese blood grass. I’m trying to create a generous swathe of this intriguing grass either side of the steps on our slope border where we’re trying to create a minimalist area in the Japanese style. The Imperata is spreading well but it may take a couple of years to get the wave effect I’m aiming for.
Busy and focused weekend again splitting hostas, ferns and pulmonaria to transplant to the far side. Used a new Japanese knife/tool (Christmas present) which cuts down massively on the effort needed.
