Grass and Bamboo: How is this for winter interest?, 1 by DonnaMack

I got my start in 1998, at Milaegers in Racine. I had moved into my new home in July, and it was former farmland, so I installed everything. I did get a landscape plan, and wanted LOTS of grasses. It was fall, a supposedly risky time to plant grasses. So they were conducting the following promotion:

Buy 12, get 6 free
Buy 6, get 3 free
Buy 3, get 1 free

I was shameless, and made multiple trips even though they were 45 miles away (ah, I remember 99 cent gas!)

They still smile when they see me. And I figured out that I paid an average of $2.50 for each grass.

Watch out for fall sale grasses! Cut all the flowers off (when they are flowering, they are spent, like any other perennial) but if you want a lot, that's the time!

Some of my $2.50 grasses.
