I saw this grass in California. I live in North Carolina, 8a. Would this grass grow in NC? If not, what is something similar I could plant?

    Look up “ornamental grasses” in your zone.

    Looks like Nassella tenuissima, an annual where I live.

    Hey OP. I’m from NC 8a too, (Southeast NC). Pink Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) would fit this look. I think also Carolina Wiregrass (Aristida stricta) would also work, but that’s almost impossible to find in the trade for some reason given our Long Leaf Pine ecosystem. I’ve seen one place list it near Lumberton.

  4. Note, the grass in picture 1 is not in picture 2.

    Get feather Reed grass, get the sterile kind. Will not spread
