Grasses can be fun, kids! I have grown quite a few over the years, and there are a few that have either fallen from favor with me, or that I've decided only belong in certain situations.
I just taught my first Grasses class a few weeks ago at the nursery where I work, and it was a lot of fun. I was just dreading it, really, hoping hardly anyone would show up. So I was pleasantly surprised when almost 30 people showed up and a lot of them seemed delighted, and stuck around afterwards to yak. (So does that make me a guru? All I need is a turban)
Well, these are my current favorites:
Stipa gigantea
Carex "Amazon Mist" (although will it keep its good looks next season?)
Carex flacca "Blue Zinger" (mildly aggressive spreader...is that an oxymoron?)
Stipa tenuissima (nothing like it...why are half of my favorite plants weeds?)
Miscanthus "Morning Light"
Elymus magellenicus
Hakonechloa "Allgold"
Cortaderia richardii
