HI Sorry for the late response. On vacation! Yeah. The other plants are Rosa 'Floral Carpet Red', Tibouchina heteromalla, Penstemun rub rum (altho P. 'Fireworks" is a new nice purple grass), Lavandula 'Provonce', Rosa 'Iceburg", and Rosa sevilleana. Quite the collage. Thanks for the compliment. There was a nice Tribune article about the landscape. The link is: Halopoff Home in Shell Beach: An ‘exuberant’ house and garden remodeling | The Tribune & SanLuisObispo.com. Copy and paste into your browse?

Thanks for your kind words! We used Mexican Feather Grass, Miscanthus sinensis 'variagata', phormium tenax, and purple fountain grass. The project has some nice contrasting colors and texture.

Miscanthus sinensis Gracillis and also the Miscanthus sinensis Strictus are good choices here. Another option is the Switch grass, Manicum virgatum 'Heavy metal' It is 4-5' tall and also a spectacular garden specimen.
