Greetings All!
Can someone tell me the name of the plants that were planted last year at Roosevelt Park/Michigan Depot? They have grown very well & my friend wants some for her garden...
Thanks!

I have not seen them in person, but from the pictures in the article below the green ones appear to be some type of Sedum [[Stonecrop) and the smaller red bushes appear to be Barberry.

IIRC, there were also Hostas planted.

The tall ornamental grasses are "Feather reed", that is the dominant
plant there...it is a cool-season grass, that's why it has gone to seed
months ago, and the look is somewhat wheat-like. I have tons of them,
zero-maintenance.
Latin name is staring with Calim=====.

Greetings all! Now it's time to plant & I can't seem to find any of the Feather Reed Grass [[Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster') & was wondering if any of the gardeners out there can point me to a local supplier?

I bought some at Bordine's a few year ago.

Telly's at 16 and John R has a lot of ornamental grasses, but I'm not sure about the type you're looking for.
