Perennials: What are you sorry you planted......Part 2, 1 by dragonfly53

I regret planting this blue stemmed grass, which I cannot kill and which shows up everywhere I don't want it. Can't remember it's name but it was so polite the first year and gorgeous the second year, then it went to seed, literally. I've dug it out, cut it down to nothing and it still comes back every spring. I try to keep the seed heads cut down to prevent volunteers but I always miss one or two and I only am able to come home every other week or so, which seems to give the seed heads plenty of time to mature. I've tried the strongest weedkiller I can find and nothing works.

I wouldn't mind so much if all the plants stood tall and fountained nicely but they all seem to sprout tall and then flatten out, aargh!

On another note can anyone tell me what the grass is that seems to be a favorite of landscapers - it's a dark green, has round stems and grows about 4 feet tall and fountains at the ends so beautifully?
