The Redemption of Being Slim

Posing for a photo this week behind Colocasia ‘Redemption’ is a patch of Sorghastrum nutans ‘Slim Pickens’. This amazing form of the US native Indian Grass, named both for it’s form, and nativity to Pickens County, SC, has surpassed all other clones in the trade, in our trials at JLBG. The blue foliage, narrow form, great plumes, and later flowering, make this an excellent garden choice. This photo is composed of three, side by side specimens. The bottom image is a solitary specimen in a different part of the garden.
